Viavoice for Linux was only release with American English. The IBM folk on the list said, "Substituting other dictionaries probably will work, but is unsupported." The source of other dictionaries was VV for Windows - a friend's computers or (for those who speak with English or Australian accents) the Windows Viavoice SDK on the IBM website. UK English and German in particular were mentioned as "probably working," but the implication was there that many other languages would work too.
