ASCII is / was the way MS-DOS used it, I guess probably Codepage 850.for western european languages. btw. I will definitly build a new german voice file when the deutsch.lang file will contains all the new entries. I already made a L&H Stephan German voice file, but I had to use some traingsIn English because they were not yet present in deutsch.lang. My German is not so good so I can't update the file myself with the correct German words.

Do you mean ASCII? My knowledge of character sets isn't too good. :) If you do mean ASCII, it would seem that some of the required symbols are not present in ASCII; Python gives errors to that effect when I try to convert the file. What is the standard, non-Unicode encoding for German? Arnaud, do you want to upload a new German voice file with Max? I took mine down due to its errors, and it seems you have a better handle on this than I. I also can't test it as I don't know German.
