Mostly for messages from my own functions. As a Frenchman who reads and
writes primarily in French, in my code I usually display messages in
French and I would prefer to hear them in a Franch voice. Also for
standard emacs messages thet include a file name, since my directory and
file names are usually French. When emacs displays for instance "wrote
/home/nicolas/travail/fichiers/rapport-mai-2020.txt" I would rather hear
it with a French accent, where "wrote" would sound weird and the file
name would be clear, rather than an English voice. I realize this is
purely a matter of personal taste, that's why I am suggesting a
customization option.

Thanks for your interest,
Nicolas
