Oops, NatLink looks for a file acoustic.ini in your DNS User Directory (where your speech profile is located). Probably at

C:\ProgramData\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking10\Users\yourusername\Current

for Vista, NatSpeak 10 or at

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking9\Users\yourusername\current

for XP, NatSpeak 9.

Or somewhere else if you changed the standard location of your speech profiles.

So in this directory there should be a file acoustic.ini with settings like:

[Acoustics]
...
[Base Acoustic]
voice=UK English | BestMatch III
...

From the setting Base Acoustic, voice NatLink extracts the string UK English (in this example). From the python dictionary:

# the possible languages (for getLanguage)
languages = {"Nederlands": "nld",
             "Français": "fra",
             "Deutsch": "deu",
             "UK English": "enx",
             "US English": "enx",
             "Australian English": "enx",
             "Indian English": "enx",
             "SEAsian English": "enx",
             "Italiano": "ita"}

the correct three letter language code (like enx) is extracted.

If the file "acoustic.ini" is not found, "yyy" is returned, if not a valid language can be found "xxx" is returned.

Does it harm? No, as long as the NatLink (Unimacro) grammars do not rely on the getLanguage call of the natlinkstatus module.
