text to speech - microsoft TTS SDK supports the Arabic language? - text-to-speech

i would like to know if the microsoft TTS SDK supports the Arabic language. If it does how? If it does not, is there any way to convert arabic text to speech?
please, i want my program to read arabic text using VB 2008.

Microsoft's TTS SDK (SAPI) is language-agnostic - it relies on TTS engines to actually transform the text to speech.
That being said, as far as I know, there are no free Arabic TTS engines available.
Acapela has an Arabic male and female voice available for purchase, but I have no idea how much it costs.

Does anyone know what software is behind the speech synthesis feature on Google Translate - it does a pretty good job in a number of languages.
I'm not sure but I found;

English and other languages, for Linux and Windows.

Microsoft Speech API to read a french text

I would like to build an application that reads french text. I have already developed the app and it is able to read the text in English. I only need how to pass a parameter to the speech API so that it would speak in French.
Thanks in advance

You need a French voice. Unfortunately, there aren't any free French voices available for SAPI 5 (and therefore usable with the .NET framework).
