My text-to-voice language is set to UK english and I have also enabled the 'force programs to use this choice' option yet the navigation app still uses the american english voice.
Anyone else seeing this on the desire?
Maybe the uk choice is not installed?
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Both UK and US English packs seem to be installed and are available as language selections. The 'listen to an example option' indeed correctly uses the UK english voice, but google navigation refuses to honour that choice... Does anyone know where maps stores its language choice as it seems to ignore the 'voice input and output' settings?
(this is on close-to-stock gingerbread ROM with maps v5.8.0)
I had the same problem - it's annoying having a robot tell you what to do, even worse to have an American robot bossing you around.
After a lot of tinkering, the problem seems to be that Navigation gets confused if your global language and your text-to-speech language aren't the same. So you need to change your global language to English (UK) in Menu / Language and Keyboard / Select Language. The trouble is, the stripped down Gingerbread for HTC Desire doesn't have English (UK) as an option - only English (US). So you also need to run a little app called "Any Locale, a switching widget" (by leohoo) available free on the market, to let you select English (UK).
Once you have selected English (UK) as your global language, you can actually delete the "Any Locale" app to save storage space.
And ta-da! Annoying English robot is back.
Thanks, it does look like a Google Maps bug, but this works....
UK language
@ SolentUK
THANKS a bunch for that app info! Finally got rid of that American [email protected]%.
It's ok. I can say that. I'm American.
I love the British accent. It sounds just like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb.
Yeah, I like to watch cartoons.... still.
Speech in Navigation is stuck
OKay. Here's the scenario.
Got tired of U.S. female robot very quickly.
Selected English UK whch sounds like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb, if you watch Disney...
Had to use Any Locale to switch to the English UK
Work for a few days, then intermittently went back to U.S. Female robot.
Downloaded SVOX and the voice Oliver UK. He worked for weeks.
All of a sudden now, when I start Navigation(Google) the only things Oliver says is "50 feet". Tthen in about 20 seconds or so, he repeats "50 feet. 50 feet."
Reset all of the language inputs and even tried using different languages. Still Oliver comes on and says "50 feet."
Uninstalled SVOX and Oliver. rebooted phone, but still Oliver comes on saying, yep. you guessed it, "50 feet".
Tried resetting languages ifor the default and langauge inputs and text to speech...again and used Any Locale. Nope!
I know that Google Nav can be buggy a little, but c'mon!
Any help is welcome. I'm excellent at navigating and reading maps. Don't need a GPS, but damn it! It's supposed to be a feature that works, therefore I want to use it. It makes a fun toy.
Hi!
This application came with my stock phone.
I like it very much, it´s light, reliable and easy to use.
But I have a small problem...
I live in Portugal, and so to receive the local news, I need to have my phone in Portuguese (selectable at 1st configuration).
I would like to have my phone in English (by choosing i.e. UK country), but then I do not get the local news to me.
How can I change the news location / feed for this?
The application does not have that option.
Cheers in advance,
Miguel
Maybe something like editing a line somewhere...
Any ideas gentleman?
Cheers!
If this is still an issue to you, the app "morelocale 2" might help, you might be able to set the locale as Portugal and leave your language English and have it work.
Hi,
I recently bought the galaxy s4 mini in Germany, and I would like to completely make it spanish (I am spanish and I live in Spain).
I thought installing an spanish (PHE) official stock rom from here (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195) would be enough, but I am still getting the "this app is not available in your country" message when I try to install some spanish apps from google play.
Does any one know where else google keeps track of the nationality of the phone?
In case I cant change the country of the phone... is there any way to install apps from other countries like we used to do before with market enabler? I heard this is not working anymore...
Thanks!
It seems like I have to change the google wallet configuration! thanks!

Hello fellow Nexus 5X owners
I would like to use the Google Assistant with it's commands and cool features, but the problem is that you need a) nougat & b) either English or German system-wide language/locale. But I don't want to change my whole phone to English, I woul like to keep it in my native language (Czech). It wouldnt be a problem with Marshmellow because there you could change the language/locale on a per-app basis using an XPosed module AppSettings. So my question is, does anybody know about a way to do it in this situation? To change the language just for the Google app so that it thinks my phone is in English and it allows me to use Google Assistant?
btw. I know I have to change the build.prop and stuffs I actually got Assistant working if I change the whole phone to English, so that's not a problem for me.
Thanks for any help.
