These instructions are from Leopard so there may be some changes but should get
you going in the right direction. I posted these a couple of years ago when I
was wanting to have both English and Spanish. But I think the drag-and-drop
procedure may have changed if somebody wants to update that.

[macvoiceover] Leopard: Instructions for getting vo and the system to use
another language
These instructions were provided by Anne Robertson in a couple of emails
and I'm pasting the combined content here. I didn't know how to
drag-and-drop yet, so I just unchecked all the other languages; if you
have any trouble with drag-and-drop, this can also be done. I also
changed my system voice for the Spanish user but that might or might
not be necessary depending on what you are doing.
Anne's Instructions:
To get VO to work in another language as well as English, you need to
create a user in that language. You create a second user, log in as
that user, change the language and, if you like, Input method
(keyboard), and set the default voice to be one in the language you
require, then Restart your computer and the new user will be in the new
language.
After this, you can log in as either user.
I always have VisioVoice running with its first voice set to French so
that I can read any message or document in French without switching
users, but I switch to my French user to browse the Net in French.
To select your language in System Preferences, go to the International
pane, select the Language tab, interact with the Languages Table, go to
the language you wish to use, use Drag and Drop to move it to the top
of the list. Drag and Drop: make sure that the VO cursor and the mouse
are on the item you wish to move, press VO-Command-Shift-Space bar to
pick up and hold the mouse, turn tracking off, move VO cursor to the
place you wish to put the item, move mouse to VO cursor, turn tracking
on again, press VO-Command-Shift-Space bar to release the mouse. Select
the third tab if you want to change the keyboard layout. Interact with
the table and use Shift-click to select the keyboard layout(s) you
want. Check the Show Input Menu in Menu Bar checkbox. In this way, you
can verify the existing keyboard layout and change it when you want to.
When you change the keyboard layout from the Status Menu, it takes
effect immediately.
