+README for the Italian voices of Festival
+=========================================
 
+Enabling festival --language italian
+------------------------------------
+
+The italian voices for festival do not yet work out of the box because of bug
+#335845 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=335845).
+
+It is simple to work around the problem while the festival maintainer updates
+the package: just apply the patch provided in:
+
+  /usr/share/doc/festlex-ifd/languages.scm.patch
+
+To the file /usr/share/festival/languages.scm with this command:
+
+  patch /usr/share/festival/languages.scm /usr/share/doc/festlex-ifd/languages.scm.patch
+
+After this, you will be able to use festival with the "--language italian"
+option and the (language_italian) function.
+
+Otherwise, to use the italian speech just run the festival shell and write
+(voice_pc_diphone) or (voice_lp_diphone).
+
+
+Encoding of accented letters
+----------------------------
+
+The italian database uses the Latin1 encoding for accented characters.
+If input text encoded in UTF8 fails like this:
+
+  $ echo caffè | festival --language italian --tts
+  11:49 <riccardo> LTS_Ruleset italian_downcase: no rule matches:
+  11:49 <riccardo> LTS_Ruleset: # c a f f *here* \uffff \uffff #
+
+then you need to recode the input.  Just put recode in the pipe:
+
+  echo caffè | recode utf8..lat1 | festival --language italian --tts
