1. Make sure you have installed TTS engine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts&hl=en[^]
2. Set the language you want to use: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeech.html#setLanguage(java.util.Locale)[^] For example:

VB

mTts.isLanguageAvailable(Locale.UK))
mTts.isLanguageAvailable(Locale.FRANCE))
mTts.isLanguageAvailable(new Locale("spa", "ESP")))

mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);

C#

String myText1 = "Did you sleep well?";
String myText2 = "I hope so, because it's time to wake up.";
mTts.speak(myText1, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
mTts.speak(myText2, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
