A multilanguage TTS courtesy of Google Translate

This script uses Google Translate to do a simple text-to-speech operation. It plays back the result by default when you run it:

python saythis.py "Say this!"

Quotes can be omitted too:

saythis.py Say this!

You can also specify the language:

saythis.py "Pimbas!" --lang pt

Output to a file instead of playing it:

saythis.py "Pimbas!" --lang pt --output pimbas.mp3

This is based on a handy Lifehacker article.
