Text to Speech +Translate ?

[360Texas]

Text to Speech. If I set our tours with TTS our native desktop default language would be EN or english.

When we view our online tour on our desktop the default browser Chrome audio would be listened to English.

When our tour is viewed online by say a French speaking visitor do they hear English or French?
Obviously a French speaking visitors computer default language is probably set for FRENCH.

Thought of one other.... could Google translator be activated automatically for the French visitor's computer so French would be heard ?

Is it possible to include the Google Translate feature into the Pano2vr Text to Speech component?

Does this help?

In case there are people who aren't on Facebook and would like know how to deal with this, here's Martin's tip copied from the user group:

You can use a text variable to switch languages in a text box using a logic block, this is known and how you would build a bilingual tour.
You can then use this variable and an action filter to adjust the accent that needs to be used.
You would copy the action in the Text to Speech component as many times as you have languages.

Then edit the java scrip for each using the added line of code:
As an example, utter.lang = 'en';

You can then add an action filter so when the variable is set to a specific language only the action with that language is actioned.
To this end, if you look at the link Christoph, posted http://www.lingoes.net/en/translator/langcode.htm

You can also force regional accents of the same language as well as different languages.
For example:
utter.lang = 'en';
utter.lang = 'en-UK'; English British accent
utter.lang = 'en-US'; English Ameriacan accent
So all "en" but three different accents.

Please note, this works well for Chrome and Firefox, but Safari on the Mac is part of the OS and not a separate application. This means it will use the OS voice settings and will not work.
