I had been *pondering the question "why my Google Translate don't want to sound 'American' " *for about a month, before I realized that it is Google itself that doesn't allow it to sound that way on my computer, according to my geographical location (which is Moscow).
I noticed it, as I said before, about a month ago. I used to use Google Translate for years and it sounded American all right, despite the fact that my location was the same. But it seems like something has been changed, because now Google is acting *like it knows better than me* what kind of English-pronunciation I need there in Moscow!!! I know it for sure, as I came *to this conclusion after I tried** *everything, every language setting to get it sound "right" -- browsers, OS, account + logout (just to be sure that it had nothing to do with its settings) -- and the only way I have found to force "Google" to sound American is to use a fake IP-adress (American IP-adress). Of course, it is in no way a solution, but at least I know who to blame for it now. So, my question is very simple and naive -- WHY? Why have you guys done this to us, Muscovites? :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
