Hi Franc, Awesome stuff!
Just a bit worried about the exact commands though. African and Slavic aren't languages so I wonder what they correspond to. Having putonghua or Mandarin would be more appropriate than Chinese as Chinese is a disparate group of languages — and it's worth mentioning that Mandarin doesn't account for a whopping 400 million speakers of languages from that group. Malaysian is a nationality, Malay being the language you're looking for, and finally Catalan should be used instead of Catalonian. Regarding the selection, I do hope this is also easily modifiable as a lot of languages supported by the API are missing, including some of the "big" ones. Not only German, as already mentioned, but Hindi, Tamil, Kannada (of Bangalore's fame)… I feel TW's existing text translations shouldn't be the limit here. I almost never apply localizations to my programs and just because my email interface is in English for example doesn't mean I'm not going to want to write my emails in the languages I happen to be able to write. I also want to point out that the STT capabilities for some of the "minor" languages are incredible and this tool would be extremely empowering for their typically neglected users. I assume that accent can be specified manually in the settings and there is less sense in being able to switch accents on the fly (though some use cases could require that too I imagine) but it bears reminding this is extremely important. Try the Nigerian accent for English with your standard accent and see how that works out for you. The differences are probably more extreme between the forms of French from Québec and France, among the many forms of Spanish (especially from the Cono de Oro as it was strongly influenced by Italian), between Swiss or Bavarian German and standard German… Best, R² -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
