Well, speakup is localizable since a long time, but one can only notice
that it hasn't been actually localized since, while espeak does have
everything in place, so why not just use that and be done.

I don't understand this. Is there perhaps yet another bug that wasn't
fixed or reported?

Right :)

We'd have to think and code a bit about this. The kernel actually uses
ucs-2 encoding, while people will probably rather feed the internal
messages as utf-8 strings. But one has to know whether it's utf-8 or
some 8bit character set which is being used. That question is actually
related to pasting, for which we need to know the same :)

espeak doesn't speak spaces unless strongly being told to do so :)
