I think it is confusing if you only display those languages that the synth 
supports. (From the screen shots I would have first tried to select the 
language and than the speech synth.) But the other way round (to only display 
those speech synths that support the selected language) may be confusing, 
too, if you display both combo boxes next to each other.

I think there are three possibilities to resolve this problem:
1. Let the user select a language and a speech synth without checking if that 
combination is usable. (Maybe the "Add" button can be disabled for invalid 
combinations).

2. Let the user add a speech synth. In order to select a language for that 
synth, a combobox for the language can be added to the tab of the speech 
synth.

3. Let the user add a language. In the top of the tab of the language is a 
combo box for selecting the speech synth.

I would prefer the third possibility, but the first is ok, too. The second may 
be confusing if the rest of Proklam is language-centered.
