SUMMARY I'm trying to set up a notification command for an calendar alarm as Speech doesn't work. So I set "Run command" to "/usr/bin/spd-say -l de "Terminerinnerung: %e" However, I never get any speech output. If I run the command on the command line it works just fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to System Settings -> Notifications 2. Got to Application-specific Settings 3. Select Calender Reminders 4. Klick on Configure Events... 5. Set "Run command" to "/usr/bin/spd-say -l de "Terminerinnerung: %e" OBSERVED RESULT Silence EXPECTED RESULT There should be voice ouptut from speech-dispatcher SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12

This is really bad :-( I finally got it working after some debugging. LC_ALL was not set, so spd-say didn't work as it couldn't set the locale. I will comment on the bug you linked that I use this.
