Yep, Fran�ais, Italiano, Deutsch, Suomi for kb & text work with her. Have to reset voice to Sangeeta 'coz it causes unit to reset to default French etc voice, but she's nattering away happily to me now with Espa�ol kb/text set (after I flicked Isabel of course) .

@ Neil,my dear.... There is something strange ....

My test with 2595 EU/US:

Folder nav\Voice\....



1st test: set Text in British


therefore missing in the list Steffi and Silvia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd test: set Text in Italiano



+ Agathe and Kate>>>missing Sangeeta+Steffi

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd test : set text in French



+Simona>>>>missing Sangeeta+Steffi and Silvia

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4th test: set in American British



In list voice: Kate+Agathe+Italiano+Simona.....missing Sangeeta,Silvia and Steffi

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NB: Simona voice VCT.....Italiano VPM (old and normal voice not TTS)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First (!!) considerations:
1) The Sangeeta is voice TTS...same Silvia or others
2) Sangeeta is compatible ONLY with British Language: not American British or others (btw my voice of test,obvious)
3) each text file has associated only some languages ​​compatible
4) probably in your nav you also have the voice of Sangeeta 5.5 MB ..... that is compatible with all (maybe) ... at least the text you see in the list
5) Sangeeta tested today (routes active,really) and has a lower volume of the other languages ​​I've tried TTS
6) available to any other test.............

Bye,bye

It is the old bug in total! I wrote about this:

It is concerning a many of voices which have TTS version. Only VCT (VoiceStudio) version of voice is work for it on all text language.

I tried to play with Locales.xml but it was no success. Although Neil can see English_Indian_Sangetta.vpm on duplicitous Australian locale which is including AU and GB dialects!? But may be language association algorithm is in software and corresponding record in voice files. TurboCCC, where are you?

May be we have problem due to true record for TTS Phonetics in region 140 (supported_features.html)!? May be try to play with this? May be true is not good in this case?

Maybe the simple answers is if the device already has kb/text set to language other than British English before the Sangeeta voice is added? My kb/text changes were made after it was added. No small file was present in other than my 50 & 40>42. I'll also test a bit more when i have time and report. Strange results indeed. I also noted lower volume.

Which StreetPilot? The earlier/base models didn't have TTS capability, so in those it definitely won't work. If you have a TTS unit such as 27/28/7xxx or c550/580 for example you should try Sangeeta and report back the results, but i think it may not work even in them.

Here's new links for both files i have:
