If you want to use other language than English with eSpeak, you need
to figure out the name of the voice(s) for the language and add them
to the espeak.conf file, one by one, like

AddVoice        "en"    "MALE1"         "en"
AddVoice        "en"    "MALE2"         "en-b"

etc.

Do not modify the existing lines, they are right. Add new lines.
Then if you want to use other language as the default with Speakup,
you must set it as the default language inside Speech Dispatcher
(this is because Speakup doesn't support runtime language switching
yet). You can do it in speechd.conf via the option DefaultLanguage
(2-character ISO language code is expected)

I'd highly recommend to directly use the Speech Dispatcher driver for
Orca instead. You can download it here
http://www.freebsoft.org/~cerha/orca/speech-dispatcher-backend.html
and the instalation is simple.
