[tuxdroid-user] Automatically detect language

[Georges D. <geo...@la...>]

Hi

I just wrote a little piece of code that read the locale in order to determine 
which language tux should speak.

Here it is :

def find_language():
    env=os.environ['LANG']
    dict1={ 'en_US':'US',   #American English
            'nl_BE':'B'}    #Belgian Dutch
    dict2={ 'fr':'FR',      #French
            'de':'D',       #Deutsch
            'en':'GB',      #British English
            'ar':'AR',      #Arabic
            'da':'DK',      #Danish
            'es':'E',       #Spanish
            'it':'I',       #Italian
            'nl':'NL',      #Dutch
            'nb':'NO',      #Norwegian
            'pt':'P',       #Portuguese
            'sv':'S'}       #Swedish
    if dict1.has_key(env[:5]):
        return dict1[env[:5]]
    elif dict2.has_key(env[:2]):
        return dict2[env[:2]]
    else:
        return 'US'

I think it can be useful. Maybe even in the svn (in order to determine default 
language, and advice about downloading languages).

What do you think about it ?

Why have 2 dictionaries ? A single one would do fine.

English and Dutch have one particularity : there are two variants, depending 
on the country.

The first dictionary check for a specific country, whereas the second one 
check only the language.

With one dictionary, it could make the difference between US and GB.

Missed exactly the same :-)
Thanks for the patch, Georges.

Hi

Just an idea, more or less linked to that. When I select a voice that is not 
present on the system, male american is selected. Maybe there could be a 
warning telling that the voice can be downloaded.

Can it be done in the api, or is the "fallback" to english deeper in the 
daemon ?

The fallback to the male american voice is done in tuxttsd so you don't  
really have access to that but in case you want some modifications, just  
add a new issue to the trackers and that will be taken into account for  
next release.

On the other hand, you can get a list of all installed voices from the  
events in the API. That list is used in the latest GTDI so only the  
installed languages are shown. This list could also be used to enforce the  
language selection.

I don't have my tux with me, so I can't check. Is the 
tux.tts.authorized_voices_list the list you're talking about ?

If it's that, I'll write a patch that check whether the selected language is 
present, and return a message containing the url if not.

Once done, maybe I can add a new function based on that code that would 
determine which language is to used. Maybe it could be used during the 
install in order to dowload the needed language.

Yes, that's it. (I don't know that myself, I'm just asking Rémi all the  
time ;-) )
This list returns all installed languages, and as soon as you select one,  
the list is updated and only includes English and the second language you  
choosed. (The Acapela license only allow you to use English and a second  
language simultaneously.)

 From my point of view, I think tux.tts.select_voice should only allow the  
languages that are in tux.tts.authorized_voices_list to be selected, as  
the others won't. Then it can return an error if the language doesn't  
exist, or return the URL if the language exists but is not installed.

I couldn't see the list update by myself (I didn't try so much), but if it=
=20
only contain two languages, then this script doesn't work as we want. I see=
=20
no way to know whether it list all the languages, or only two.
Any idea ?
