Will this overcome the "please select hebrew tts voice profile from the regional setting menu for enabling the VR option" error when I touch the VR microphone?

Hello... Knauss
what you mean "foreign language" ?? normally should be have Spanish...

first for all need to make some settings on your device... about TTS and VR...

1.set your device in your local language... Spanish
2.install the tts engine that's you like, with all necessary files...
and check from settings menu if you have a test sound...
3.set the google VR for your language (make it primary) ... and make some test on the google search...

after that and if you have success, go to iGO and put the folders (vr + vr_vde) in the path --> iGO_xxx/content

open the "commands.lua" file with notepad++ and you will see the commands .... also check if is correct the translation...
sorry the file from @boyzth is hebrew

And it was Spanish.
But as TTS engine was reading some text in English, probably in some of the ux I substituted, it sounded as a foreign language...

I'm sorry, I now see that I explained it bad.
TTS is correctly installed and working OK, in iGO and other apps.
Folder structure is as you comment, with vr and vr_vde folders inside iGO_Gift/content.

In fact, as I commented before, after substituting stock ux files gpsandmore_vr.zip, vr.zip and free_text_vr.zip provided by marx, I manage to get some basic VR function.
I may now activate VR and say a word that iGO searches for in favourites and places.

I don't have notepad++ but Kate (I'm in Linux Debian).
I suppose I may modify the file 'commands.lua' in Kate.
Where is this file supposed to be afterwards?, inside '040a_freetextlua.vfb'?
May I directly substitute it inside '040a_freetextlua.vfb'?, I remember [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] where you said some rules for compression were needed.

Yes, I suspected that.

Thank you for your help!, I will try your suggestions, even I'm not sure where to put 'commands.lua' file.

On second thoughts, there's already a 'commands.lua' inside the '040a_freetextlua.vfb' I'm using...
I will go and check if version you provide is better translated than the one I'm using.
Hope to report how it did go soon!

Edit:
I compared files you linked to those uploaded by Kajoe, and they look quite similar...
Aren't them the same files?. I'm referring to free_text_vr.zip and vr.zip ux files...
Because VR did not work with them, just after using that of marx.
But I may of course try them again.

Edit2:
And now my smartphone is asking me to upgrade to Oreo...
After reading that it made things go bad to other users, I will refrain to update for now...

"commands.lua" located inside the "040a freetext lua.vfb" file... and is duplicate
i send it extracted, only for see the voice commands and check the translation...

about "gpsandmore_vr.zip" from @marx i can tell you because never used i need to see...
in the rar you find (vr.zip + free_text_vr.zip) from last pongo (29.05.2018) that work very well...

and close the automatic update... if update to 8.0 forget the vr

Thank you modemakias and marx for your comments.

I compared "040a freetext lua.vfb" and "_ESP_040a_SPE.vf1" with versions I had already found in the forum, and they look the same.

I run some tests.
When I use ux files you provided, "vr.zip" and "free_text_vr.zip", from last pongo, I cannot see the microphone icon and cannot activate VR.
As it is running OK on your side I imagine that in last pongo skin may be some additional ux file or configuration that make VR work.
Could it be possible some adjustment in sys.txt?
If I substitute "vr.zip" pongo version with "vr.zip" provided by marx, no microphone icon/no VR.
If I substitute "free_text_vr.zip" pongo version with "free_text_vr.zip" provided by marx, I can see microphone and activate VR, independently of which "vr.zip" version I use.
But, again, very basic VR functionality, I just get 1 word "listened" by VR, the word is not repeated in load voice as I have seen in some videos, and the result of VR is showing a list of items in Places or Favourites in iGO, in numbered lines, but I cannot say a second command to select a line or move accross the list. Very basic, and almost useless as it is now.
What would be your next recommendation?
I tried also with and without "gpsandmore_vr.zip" and see no difference.

- and, it is urgent, 1 priority language in your system settings must be spanish!

I removed phonemes and did not see any difference. So I will keep them removed.
Internet is working OK, Ggoogle app installed and working, and Spanish is language 1 (and only, not any one else in the phone settings list)

Finally, if I keep everything as this Gift version was first posted and just substitute the "free_text_vr.zip" in ux with the one posted by marx, I get the same functionality: microphone icon enabled, I can activate VR, but just 1 word listened by VR and output of a search in Places/Favourites, with no additional interaction.
I wish I could manage to improve this.
The first phrase VR says when activated, something like "say a word ...." is an English text that sounds strange read in Spanish TTS. If VR doesn't understand or find that word, next messages are correctly written and read in Spanish.
But again a list, with no further interaction.
