Hello Cleverson, there is nothing you have to change in the characters tables etc. If you use a recent version of speechd-up (0.4) and do NOT run it with the -t option but specify the appropriate character encoding via the -c parameter, internationalization should work out of the box. Speechd-Up will to the necessary chartab and characters substitution automatically. Have a nice day, Hynek Hanke
