Has anyone noticed Google Translate only pronounces in english accent?
Tried other translate apps with same result. Uninstalled and reinstalled the TTS Service Extended it uses. Some reason it will not pronounce spanish or any non-english words correctly. On a G1, Nexus One and MyTouch in the same room with the same settings, only the Captivate had this problem. If anyone knows a fix for this, please let me know. Thanks.

Hey
As you may know google recently release Google Navigation (Beta) here in Denmark, but since i run my phone language in english, which i like better, the voice guidance is also in english.
But I would like to have the voice in danish, I tried using MoreLocale2 to change to danish and the voice was then in danish, but so was most of the phone, which i dislike :/
So now that I know it is possible to get danish voice guidance could anyone tell me if/how i can get it and still keep the english phone language?
I've tried to change the language in Settings and Text-to-speech where I can set the language for the spoken text, but this didn't effect the navigation language

On the XT860 there are only the language options English, French, Spanish and Portugese. (This is system language I am talking about. For messaging other languages fortunately are available.)
That is not a major problem except when apps like MN do not have an own language setting but use the system language instead. I do not mind the program itself being in English, but the English pronounciation of German street names is really irritating.
So, does anyone have an idea if it is somehow possible to change the system language on an XT860 to German?
Alternatively is there a way to make MN use another language than the system one? I know this last one has been asked many times (for different phones) and apparently nobody has found a solution yet. Maybe someone on here has good idea? Fiddling with the names of the sound files (IE renaming them did not yield any results for me.)
use morelocale 2 from the market
Thanks, that was easier than expected.
At first I thought it wasn't working, but after a reboot all is well.
Phone now has a strange mixture of German for some menus and the default English for most other but I guess you can't have it all.
Hi guys,
On an AOKP rom in Settings > Language & input > Android keyboard settings > Add-on dictionaries.
I can choose to install a Dutch dictionary. It downloads something, and says "installed".
However it doesn't do anything, the keyboard only auto-corrects words found in my contacts, so there is probably no, or an empty dictionary downloaded.
The pre-installed English dictionary works fine.
I really like the way auto-correction works on ICS, with the red underline to correct a word.
I'm using ICS keyboard from the market at the moment.
But I would really like to use the stock/built-in keyboard in my own language, because of the correction method.
Does anybody know a fix?
Does it work for Galaxy Nexus in dutch? Maybe we could port something.
Does anyone know where the dictionaries are downloaded from?
Where are they installed and what kind of file is it?
I really hope someone could give me some insight. I've Googled a bit and couldn't find anything.
Cheers,
Daan
edit:
Okay, I installed a stock Galaxy Nexus LatinIME.apk, works fine for now.
I should notice though that the spelling-checker does not work in dutch.
Auto-correct and spelling-check are two different things.
The first corrects mistakes while typing, the second underlines a mistyped word in red. So you can choose to correct it by clicking on it.
Spell-checker supports English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Greek.
Auto-correct supports a lot of languages.
Is it posible to have Duch as a second language on the watch?
I have Dutch installed as a second language on my phone and it works perfect with Google now. I can say "okay Google" and after that I can speak Dutch.
Has anybody found a solution?
+1 for it. I have the same problem.
Dutch is not yet supported on the watch itself ... but I found out that using Dutch as first language in Google Now, the watch will recognize Dutch! So voice recognition for Google Now and Android Wear are somehow related .
Thanks for the tip! Will try.
English(US) as primary
Dutch as secondary
Settings in google now on phone, works for me.
I can respond to whatsapp messages in dutch and english commands still working
Yep, here same setting!
I used the same setup with English (UK) + Czech as secondary. This worked and there was a setting in Google settings to have Contact names recognized (they apparently need to be uploaded and indexed somewhere on google server). That option is now gone however (not sure what update caused it), and the watch is unusable for dialling Czech names anymore - it just tries to interpret everything in english.
Google needs to get a grip on the settings nonsense - there are multiple places that seem to set the same thing but don't have the exact same option, and if you mess it up in one place it's nearly impossible to find afterwards... this is a perfect example. The watch should just have it's own setting for primary/secondary languages, instead on relying on all the google apps that are in contant flux on the phone...
I thought Android wear did not have multilingual support. I wanted to use English and Spanish but I can only use one language at a time. I set Spanish as primary language in Google settings (phone) and had to change my phone language to Spanish as well.
I have a similar problem now (only got the Watch R yesterday). Language on my phone (LG G3, Android 5.0) is set to English (US); primary language in Google Now is also English (US) with Dutch as the secondary.
Now, voice commands work fine, but when I dictate a text message or an e-mail, Google doesn't recognize that I'm speaking Dutch - it tries to make English out of it. But when I dictate a note in Dutch, it works without problem. (When I disable English and only keep Dutch as a language in Google Now, then I always get "Didn't catch that", no matter what I say ...)
Probably a very annoying bug, I guess?
