Hi Everyone, Not sure how many multilingual people exist on the list, but as I was using the iPhone to read a book in Korean, I had a curiosity. I'm hoping that someone has an explanation for this minor inconvenience. I use a total of 8 languages on a daily basis to write, read, and browse the web with VoiceOver. VoiceOver has great support for these languages! However, when I upgraded to IOS 8, the ability for instantaneous transition to higher quality variants of the voices that correspond to the languages is nearly nonexistent. I am aware of the simple fact that in order for any form of language switching to occur, one has to have the Default Voice selected. As an example of this very small issue, the other day, I received a document that had some parts in Mandarin, and others in Japanese. As I was reading, I noticed that VoiceOver switched to the compact version of the Mandarin Chinese voice, even after downloading its corresponding high quality version. Interestingly, however, after making the decision to make an explicit change in the VoiceOver settings to the language in question, an immediate difference was noted. That is, the higher quality voice spoke, rather than its compact variant. I'm becoming a bit too detailed in my simplistic inquiry, but as this wasn't an issue in IOS 7, I thought to ask to see if anyone had an explanation or a fix for this minor inconvenience. I would appreciate any replies to this topic.
