It is possible to create rather complex translations. This is the first verse of the national hymn of the GDR, the German Demotratic Republic which was reunited with West Germany in 1989.

Code:
osascript -e 'say "owferstahndhen ows rawheehnen ownt dehr tsookoonft tsookehwahnt"'
osascript -e 'say "laws owns deer tsum goothen deenen doitshlawnd, eynik fowterlant"'
osascript -e 'say "awlteh nowt keelt ehs tsuh zweengken, oond weer zweengken see fehrawint"'
osascript -e 'say "dehn ehs moos oons doth gehlinghehn, daws dee sawnne shoen wee nee uwber doitshlawnd shawint"'
But the speed is wrong and there's no pronouncing at all.
