Hello dear convai team,
I had already created a ticket but it seems to have been lost somehow.

Here is my problem and the text I wrote about it:

"Hey, I have a strange new problem. My character can speak German and English but is mainly set to German. I have set up a few invoke speech functions for the livestream (greet people, ask to follow etc.) Unfortunately the character now speaks all the invoke speech things with a strange accent in German. It’s like someone who only speaks English is speaking a bit broken German. I would appreciate help.

ID: bcd04d60-bdfd-11ee-adad-42010a40000f"

“Okay, it doesn’t just happen with invoke speech, it also changes sometimes.
german seems a bit buggy”

“The character also has more problems with umlauts (Ä, Ö & Ü) than before”

This makes my project more or less unusable right now, so I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Is there any kind of update? Unfortunately, the problem still exists and I can’t work with it.

Due to GDC and the weekend, we’re pretty intense. Don’t worry, your question is on the list.

Hi <@143473124963254272> , just have a few questions. So the above reported issue is with the audio aspect only right?

Or there are issues with the quality of the (textual) responses too?

Hi <@547328106927620106> it’s mainly the audio. But I’ve just looked again and I’ve noticed that no umlauts are used in the text when spoken with an accent. So “Schön” (nice) becomes “schon”. You notice that very clearly in German.

To me it feels like it’s switching to English but saying the German text.
