Just go to preferences and disable use default voice and then you can choose some other voice

well, what >I put in bold was actually *my* related question!

Hello MedBooster,

Apologiees for misunderstanding your previous post.
The languages are handled by Windows - so this should help you with installing additional languages/voices:

Hi all,

Just installing additional (non-English) language packs in Windows 10 (32-bit) was not sufficient (for me).

I had to make a small modification in Windows Registry to make it work, using the following information:
