Any ideas about this?
I already hand-translated your Voice_TTS-nua-German-Yannick "dictionary.voice".
Would be nice if you could add DA and Speedcam to this TTS.
Btw: Seems that it is an rather old tts-voice. On Primo it worked perfectly when I took the iOS-Primo tts voices, originally provided by NNG.

I guess I am not fully understanding.
If the voice file does not work (show up as a choice in the NextGen regional settings), there would be no point adding anything to it..it still would not work.

On the other hand, for everything to function with a working voice file, here is what needs to be translated from English into {whatever} language in dictionary.voice (everything added after the Country Name phrases which are common in every voice.zip file). :

General notes:
Copy and paste the above into a plain text editor such as notepad, notepad+, etc. Do not use any type of word processor (wordpad, word, etc).
Translate everything to the right of the "=" to say whatever you want in any language. Do not change anything to the left of the "=".
In addition, do not change anything that looks like this: %s--leave that exactly in the place that it is. And leave the quote marks in place on the right side.
For example:
Arrival to destination at %s.="Arrival to destination at %s."

DO NOT CHANGE AT ALL.

Translate to your language.

Then post or attach your result as a plain text file..please use spoilers as above. Also attach a known working voice*.zip file and I will add to it. If you already know how to successfully** edit the dictionary.voice file within the *voice.zip file, you can just do it yourself, then use the following file in your UX folder:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

(this is a newer version of speedcam file that will match and work with the dictionary.voice file above)


** If you have never successfully edited a TTS*voice*.zip file and are trying it for the first time, make a backup of the original first. If you do it incorrectly, iGo/Primo/Nextgen will consider the zip file "corrupt", ignore it, and there possibly is no recovery from this on that particular voice file.
