Using API calls for text in other languages

[ralencar-git]

Hi everyone,

I'm super delighted with the new Kokoro model integration and the possibility of using voice combinations.

I've also tried experimenting with the voices in other languages, but I've noticed that it's still trying to read the text as English. So I tried passing the lang_code on the API request, but it seems to not be picking it up.

Does anyone know the right procedure to pass the language to the model?

I can confirm that voice ef_dora speaks Spanish sentences as they were English.
Using "Hola, Jefa! ¿Me estas extrañando? Por supuesto que extraño la Jefa." as a sample, the pronunciation of "jefa" uses a "J" as in "Jack" instead of being closer to an aspirated "H".

Same with the Portuguese voices. They are voices seem to be set to English default (which is fine) just trying to find out how to send the proper language parameter.

Same thing here, I tried Kokoro-82M with the french model and the french language selected to make sure, and it's fine. I hope to see this integration on Kokoro-FastAPI soon.

Using Kokoro-82M directly, ef_dora and em_alex definitivamente habla español correctamente.

is this still happening? Trying out french through the web ui sounds good to me.
