To use any of the alternate roms of the Apolo you must first have loaded the language set for that language into gnu/Linux. Otherwise You get English with different interesting results. So you need to have German loaded in Linux before those ROMs become useful. Speakup currently will still speak its messages such as "left edge" in English though. I would be willing to help someone internationalize speakup's messages if someone wanted to work on it.
