Hi again,
I found that I was right by browsing the source code - most of <voice>
messages for the Bulgarian translation were empty.
So I copied all messages from <dest> to <voice> with following regexpr
(with dot matches newline enabled):
Pattern:
(<phrase>.*?<dest>)(.*?)(<\/dest>.*?<voice>).*?(<\/voice>.*?<\/phrase>)
Replacement: \1\2\3\2\4

I'm attaching the result to this letter, so you can review it and
include it into development branch.
It has compiled successfully with genlang script so it should be no
problems.

Unfortunately, I still can't create my voice file, because I don't have
a building envirement yet and Rockbox Utility is downloading everything
from the internet and even in offline mode I still cant point it to my
.lang file.

By the way, when I've tryed to install Cygwin from your mirror, almost
nothing has been installed, and there was error -6 everywhere.
What would happen if I install it from another mirror?

P.S. It would be nice if .lang files and genlang script could be
downloaded from someware in the wiki or the translation page.
