Change voice google maps - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I just set my phone to English to use Google Now but if i use Google maps navigation it will say every thing in English
it sounds horrible hearing the dutch called streets in English, so some one knows how to chance it to a Dutch voice?
(or other langues so i can try in dutch?)
I already search the forum and came out on a topic for the gallaxy s3 but it won't work.

Yup, you need to install more voices. This is referred to as a TTS (Text To Speech) library.. and the better ones will have voices in many languages and both genders.
So install for example Ivona TTS or SVOX Pro TTS - one of those should have a Dutch voice. Then set your preferences in the Android Settings > General > Language and Input > Text-to-speech options menu. And /or the associated app menu.
..

when i installed this app i just got the voice i download from the internet and put to the APK of Maps files manual.
So it is weird but it works thanks!

It is available for (jailbreaked, as no official Apple app) iPhones ... but someone might contact the author and see whether it is possible to port it to WM 6.1.

[Q] language issue with LG WP7

yday I got an LG E900 Optimus WP7 phone, brand new. Phone is not locked on any carrier, it has initial language set to german, I switched to English and everything seemed to work perfectly ....until I installed some free app from the LG marketplace.
The problem I have is that when I install lets say "Weather & Clock" app in application list it shows as "Wetter & Uhrzeit". when I start it everything in it is english, but the name of the app itself is in german. I did try with other as well, same thing happens....
I think there must be some setting within the phone that needs to be changed, but it is none of the ones available by default (since all of those are set to english atm)
I did reset the phone to factory settings, still no help...
Can anyone help pls?
Couple of german words its not a problem...
^ Sounds like a Steve Jobs quote. "Big deal, get over it. Sent from my iPhone".
I have noticed other language related issues. If Spanish, Traditional Sort is selected for search, pressing the search button takes you to the Bing website, whereas Spanish, International Sort is chosen, the search button performs as it should (voice search still defaults to English for some reason).
I don't know if these two things are related, but they could be. My Spanish applications never show up in Spanish, as my system is in English.
Did you change everything in Settings -> region&language (Display language, Region format, System locale and Browser & search lang.) to english ??
I have an unbranded Optimus 7 ordered from Germany, set to English but with both German and English keyboards installed. I'm sure I sure the same issue when I installed the Weather and Clock app but it's fine now and hasn't ever repeated showing the name in German.

Just installed the Personal Argentina Rom and the same is happening, but it's in Spanish.
There must be a registry trick to fix this. Anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Problem wit Bing Maps in Mango RTM- RESOLVED

I am using Omnia7 with 7720.
in Maps application i was not able to see "get directions button" i see only Me button in maps
is it changed or any other way to get directions????
any help?
What you need to do is change the browser & search language in the region+language in the settings on the phone to another country near to you and test bing maps and see if it appears. if it doesn't try another country.
E.G. If i set my phones browser & search Language to English (New Zealand) i don't get the directions button. If i set it to English (Australia) i do get the directions button in Bing maps. Most likely because the phone was never officially sold in NZ.
thank you very much .. my problem got solved...

[Q] How to use Google Now in a different language from the one set for the phone?

Hi there,
I am from a Spanish speaking country, and live in France. My N4 is set in French, because in that way I can get the news of the region (in that weather & news app), and all the country-specific apps works well. Whilst I like having everything in French, I have the problem that my accent is quite strong, and Google do not understand what I say. However, I can set the speech recognition to Spanish, and it works very well... but then Google Now do not understand the order I give to him. For example, to set the alarm at 7am, I would say "poner la alarma a las 7", which Google writes perfectly fine, but it is expecting the orders to be given in French. I have tried setting my phone in Spanish, and it works like a charm, but then Weather and News does not give me the news from France any more.
Is there any way to have the phone in French, but Google Now in Spanish?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> change it to spanish

That's exactly what I have done. So, now it writes in Spanish the orders I give to it, but it doesn't execute the orders, it just search in google (because it is still expecting the orders to be done in the phone's language). In other words, that option only change the voice recognition, but not the language of Google Now.

Désolé mon ami, Orders given to google now only works in U.S english actually, Neither in European or asian Languages. you have to put English (US) as language to make it work.

Actually, that is not true. I can put my phone in French or Spanish, and Google Now in the same language (or just write the order in that language), and it will work. I can give to the phone orders in any of these languages.
What I want is just to change the language of Google Now so it can be different from that of the phone. But it doesn't seem to be possible.

Oh yeah nvm, I got confused with answers like siri :silly:
JanusDC is right! How can we change the Google Now Language without change the overall Phone Language?
I want it too

That would be a great thing!!!
We're able to change the input language to english, but if the system is in other language, Google Now can't show the results properly.
For instance, I live in Brazil and my phone language is in portuguese but I speak english, so when I use Google Now I can't ask "Do I need an umbrella today?" even if the input is set to english with the whole system in portuguese.
I have exactly the same problem. I would be very glad if someone finds a solution :/. Does anybody knows if they plan to make an update for this issue?
If you have Root, maybe editing the Localization of the App might work. I think Paranoid-ROM has this Feature, but "App Settings" for XPOSED Framework should do the Trick as well.

But the weather and news will be in the chosen language. If I use English, then I can use Google Now as I want, but Weather&News shows me US News :/

Actually not... I have my phone on English US everything and I say... "OK Jarvis, How's the weather for tonight" and It gives my location weather.
But, I remember that I asked something about Lima, and then asked about the weather and it gaved me the weather from Lima. It continues with the last thing you said somehow.
AAAAND yeahp the news there's nothing to use. Download the CNN app or use Google Currents instead
Please let me know how it goes!

I meant the News&Weather app (GenieWidget.apk). The news are not based on the location but the language, so if I put US English, I get news from USA.
I don't use Google Currents
Hey but now in 2018 there isn't any Google Now in the Settings screen of Android O. How can I change the Google Now speech detection to french.?
Here is how to change the Voice Input...
Settings > Language & Input > Voice Input - Then press the settings " star" and configure " offline speech recognition" and you can download another language if needed from there also. I hope this helps!
In the " text-to speech output" setting (also found in Language & Input in the settings) you can configure in which speech the phone/tablet should talk to you...

Google Search language? Does it make a difference in voice recognition?

Curious??
I'm in the USA, but I like my phone to have a British accent.... So, I set my Search Language to "English UK". I've had it this way for a couple years...
Does this affect anything? Would I see any benefit having it set to my native "English US"?
Silly, I know, but I'm curious?
