If you are talking about AmigaTerm, the program we supply with our
Amiga modems, a normal VT-100 termcap works perfectly.
(if you are talking about another program with the same name,
 they shouldn't be using that name! :-) )

Good idea;  but it will take Workbench space (its pretty full now!), time
as well as money, so we can contract with the people who did the first
narrator and translator device to do new ones.
(Probably have to do translator as well.)
So, maybe sometime, but not real soon, and no commitments.

(If anyone's interested in special versions that speak foreign languages,
for special projects, send me mail and I'll try to put you in touch with them.
Their rates on consulting might be within your budget.  Or, if they
get the idea that it would be a viable comercial product...)
