TTS problems [JPN]

[ta-ka]

I will report two problems on navigation in Japanese voice.

1) comma character
When there are two turns in a row, navigation voice in English says, for example, "After 100 meter turn left, then after 100 meter turn right". Here, the ',' character does not produce any sound.

On the other hand, on navigation in Japanese, the ',' character is actually read by TTS as 'comma'. It is very annoying.  Is it possible to translate ',' into '、' ? The '、' is Japanese comma and is not read by Japanese TTS.

2) fifty instead of fifteen
When you approach about 15 meter before a turning point, navigation in English says "After 15 meter turn left". But in Japanese, the voice says "After fifty meter (50 m) turn left" instead of fifteen meter (15 m). I don't know why.

Independent from Locus, I've tested Japanese TTS by directly giving '15' and I confirmed that the TTS says 'fifteen' in Japanese.

hmm this will not be so simple

1) I've tested it without comma and it's not the same. TTS voice read it more precisely with comma, because there is need for a short space in voice to separate commands. Anyway in next version I'll remove this comma, as this is not so big problem as in japanese.

Anyway, whole system is generally bad. It's maybe a problem also in 2). Every TTS read some texts in little bit different way and there is no sure, it will read correctly. Best should be, as gynta already wrote and I agree, create a separate text files for every language that will contain directly what shout TTS engine read.

It's anyway a task, on which I currently do not have much time. I'll try to think about it and create at least some basics ...

Thank you for the test and for the idea in future.
I'll wait for good news. Thanks again.
