Many thanks to our volunteers for the translation files.

CyberBuddy can speak in many languages. To have CyberBuddy speak in your language you need to perform 2 steps.

1. Select and download a text-to-speech engine for the desired language.

You have a choice here. Download one of the free text-to-speech engines from Microsoft or one of the low cost text-to-speech engines from Digalo. There are 2 files to download from Microsoft for the speech engines. The first file is the "Language Components". You can find them at this link. Select the desired language there:
http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads.htm#core
Some of these files can be found in the table at the bottom of this page.

The second file is the actual text-to-speech engine for the language desired. You can find them at this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads.htm#tts

Digalo also offers speech engines for
French, German, Spanish, Brazilian, Russian, British English, and US English
They are not free, but I understand they are low cost.

Click on the Digalo Logo for Diaglo Speech Engines This will download a small program. Run this program, it is a download manager that will allow you to select and download the desired language engine.

Now get all the Language Engines and Components on the CyberBuddy CD-ROM

When you have downloaded and installed the Text-to-Speech engine for your language, you must enable it for the desired Character. Go to the General tab of CyberBuddy and click "Character and Speech Options". For the desired character, use the "Select Voice" selection to choose the appropriate language engine.

2. Select and Download the desired speech text files.

Note: CyberBuddy version 2.10.01 and higher has the speech files built in. You can just go to the "Advanced Options" section on the "General" tab and select the desired Language text files.

CyberBuddy (version 2.05.00 and above) uses 2 files to store it's speech messages. Download the desired text files (they are very small files) and place them in your CyberBuddy folder. The CyberBuddy folder is usually: C:/program files/CyberBuddy. Remember, download and place both files (Standard Messages and Custom Messages) in your CyberBuddy folder. Because there may be different styles of translation, I may list translations provided by different people here.
These files have been translated by volunteers. I can not check them myself. If you notice any errors or have any suggestions, please email me. Use the contact page for email address.
Note: To download these files to your computer:
In Netscape, hold the shift key and click on the file link.
In Internet Explorer, right-click on the file link and select "save target as".

Many thanks to the volunteers for their time and effort.
