I'm going to need some help with this problem.  Here is what I *expected* to 
happen, but obviously I was wrong.

The voices file contains xml for each voice.  Example,

<voice>
  <code>kal_diphone</code>
  <language>en_US</language>
  <codec>ISO 8859-1</codec>
  <gender>male</gender>
  <preload>false</preload>
  <volume-adjustable>true</volume-adjustable>
  <rate-adjustable>true</rate-adjustable>
  <pitch-adjustable>true</pitch-adjustable>
  <name>American Male</name>
</voice>

The following lines in Makfile.am cause "name" strings to be extracted from 
this file into .pot file:

messages: rc.cpp
 $(EXTRACTRC) --tag=name --context=FestivalVoiceName voices >> rc.cpp
 $(XGETTEXT) *.cpp *.h -o $(podir)/kttsd_festivalintplugin.pot

This part seems to be working correctly as I now see the voice names appearing 
in the .pot file.  Translators translate.  Next, I assumed that scripty or 
other server script merged the translations back into voices file.  Festival 
Interactive plugin code reads this file using QDom and displays translated 
strings in configuration dialog picklist.  (code is in 
kdeaccessibility/kttsd/plugins/festivalint/festivalintconf.cpp).

This last part apparently isn't happening.  So can anyone tell me where I went 
wrong and how I might go about fixing this?

I've sent email to kde-18n-doc asking if OK to commit additional string to fix 
this.

I've made a change to code that I hope will fix this.

Thanks yet again for your help.
