Phoneme matching, its a classic trick to get Vocaloids tossing in other languages.

See English - Japanese and other such pages.

The result is far from perfect compared to a Vocaloid voicebank made for that language and often has pronunciation issues, incorrect sample sound lengths, a lack of biphonemes and triphonemes to support the language. Some fans tend to feel the results are brilliant but their not as good as many want them to believe they are. Maika is an example of a Vocaloid who gets treated like a god of languages, but everything she has is either extra phonetic data not meant for certain things or Spanish sounds.
