this works:

by choosing the TTS_[language], not the SR_[language].
TTS is text to speech and SR is speech recognition.

This[^] download contains all the languages that are currently supported. I think you may be disappointed.

Microsoft is well behind competitors in speech. Recognition works, but I characterized its quality as "spectacular failure". Fairly good and practically useful speech support can be found, in particular, in Android. When you compare the quality, you will see that Microsoft is just nowhere. I'm not saying about potential, just about what comes with Windows.
