I guess it would be better to implement an autodetection of the locale in
Espeakup, since swspeak not only starts Espeakup, but also Speechd-up,
where, maybe, a different approach is needed.
Note that Speechd-up almost detects the locale correctly, and only the
characters file must be edited; Espeakup failed completely till 0.6 and
the characters file has to be edited as well.

See above. But what about that characters file? I guess this is due to
Speakup. It should be possible that Speakup identifies the locale on
start up. Has this been discussed on the Speakup list?
