[Q] Google Map Navigation voice questions - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two questions about voice when in navigation:
1. My phone interface is set to English but I am Italian, so keyboard and TTS is set to Italian, still navigation voice with google map is in English: is tre a way to force a language different than the system one?
2. When phone is paired with my car's bluetooth but I am listening to the radio (as I want to receive calls but not listen to mp3's), voice is silent: is there a way to forse output from loudspeaker?
Thanks

text-to-speech - how?

Hello, I've just installed the new Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 ROM and discovered that new email is read in engish via text-to-speech engine. Does anybody know how to change language to spanish?. Where can I control this tool?.
Thanks.
ms voice command announces the subject of an email/sms/call etc. Go to settings, voice command option.
it will allow you to modify:
announce over bt headset, announce over bt headset if free, or announce over wired headset/speaker.
Dont think theirs a microsoft julia/miguel ) no offense)
you'll have to stick with microsoft michelle. (If you dont know thats the voice that announces texts, etc)
Thank you ekw, so is not possible to change the voice to other languages, isn't it? (Is very funny to listen spanish emails read by michelle )

The robotic voice that says "Droid" for the ringer...
Is there a TTS generator in this voice? I'd like to add a custom saying in that voice to my devices.
Is there a voice download for it for the build in Microsoft Sam program?
I have a program that automatically makes TTS phrases into mp3 files, I just need to add the voice file.

[Q] OK, Google now and native language; double-Dutch?

I was wondering; is there a way to seperate 'OK, Google now' and 'Google now' languages? What I mean: I love 'OK, Google now', the way it responses, very useful app.. BUT: as my native language is Dutch (not supported by 'OK, Google now' -understandable), my main look-up language is Dutch. IF
I keep google language on English, it responses well to 'OK, Google now' commands, but gives lot of garbage on search terms in Dutch. On the other hand, if I turn google voice language to Dutch, I get good responses to Dutch searches, but loose 'OK, Google now' functionality (voice response to give me the weather, call XY, etc)..
So, question is; any way to seperate languages; English for 'OK, Google now' and Dutch for the rest of google voice searches?

when you change the language to dutch in google voice, you no longer are able to set up the "ok google now" phrase under the touchless controls settings?
I can use "Ok, Google now" phrase, but I don't have the handsfree responses; like reading up weather forecast, calling persons, etc.. I like these functions, but would love to see it seperated from google now voice recognition (which one should be in Dutch).

Actually, you can enable OK Google in other languages, so that she ca respond to you in your language as well... just notice your Google Search version under App info, because after you "hack" it, Google may patch this out (it happened before, but they just found another method to hack it again eventually)
