Is there a way to force language to Google Apps? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I have my phone's System UI primary to Japanese, however Google Assistant becomes unusable until I switch my language back to English. I can still use OK Google for the original voice searches, but not Assistant.
Is there some sort of force localization app so that I can keep System UI in Japanese, but just Google in English?

This may require some apps which must use ROOT privilege or some Xposed modules. I know a Xposed module which can do this, but I can't recall its name.
Unfortunately Android 7.x is not officially supported by Xposed yet.

That xposed module is App Locale.

I am realy waiting for xposed too...

[Q] eSpeak in TTS settings?

I'm running tnt lite 2.2 and just installed Google translate. I want to enable eSpeak in TTS settings (is what the app is instructing me to do) so that I can hear the translation spoken. I can't find that setting for the life of me tho. Anyone know how to do that?
Thx
I have the same issue. eSpeak is installed, but I don't see any way to enable it in settings. There must be a way to enable it through terminal...

Google translate with offline speech input?

Anyone know how to get Google Translate working with offline speech input (e.g. in airplane mode) on the Idol 3? This worked for me on my old Moto phone running KK (actually, running CM11). But on the Idol 3, I can do offline translation via typing (having downloaded the relevant offline language packs), and I can get the app to speak either the typewritten input or output, but when I tap the microphone to activate speech input, I get a never-ending "initializing" message. Voice typing itself works offline (e.g. I can compose a notepad note), just not within Google Translate.

You might try installing the google offline voice xposed module....you might also have luck using a keyboad like swiftkey that has it's own voice input button.

I can update a bit. If I go to settings/Language & Input/Voice Input and select "Basic Google Recognition", then Translate will most of the time (not always) recognize my speech input offline (as noted before I have no issues in other apps, so I can't see where swiftkey would help), for going from English to the other language of interest (in this case, Japanese). And the phone will speak the Japanese translation. But going in the other direction does would not work. I have the Japanese offline language pack installed, so that is not the issue. The issue may be that I didn't have Japanese as an installed "Downloaded Language" under "Offline speech recognition". I have now taken care of that, (it requires knowing how to write "Japanese" in kanji characters), but seemingly it still doesn't work offline (I don't have a good Japanese speaker available to test, but with an internet connection the app recognizes my poor Japanese. But not offline.)
Have you considered using a dedicated app for your translations rather than google? I know I picked up one or two as amazon free apps. One was http://www.amazon.com/Jourist-Verla...1440539636&sr=1-1&keywords=travel+interpreter
I mention it because you may want to review "similar apps" and see if any are free and will suit your purpose.
I am new to this, I have copied the repo software onto my SD card. What do I do now? I still have no offline voice recognition.
Had similar probl w s4
Switch to google txt 2 spch engine

Voice control version chinois

Hello to all and to all .
I'm the proud owner of a mate 8 NXT al10 Chinese version so if I'm not mistaken in 128 GB.
You must excuse me I do not speak any English so I use Google.
being French and not speaking Chinese while the only thing I have a problem with what I use very often with my phone is voice control.
My question is the following "" "Is it easily possible to place a file in the phone that will allow us to use voice commands in multiple languages" ""?
I hope I well expressed and especially as Google is my friend get me well translated.
Thank you to all
what u can do is install the google app from play store and set it as your assistance and voice control app: settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance & voice input
set assist app to google app, that should do it. .

First of all thank you for responding so quickly.
But this solution does not solve anything at all and made some applications malfunction I would say it conflicts with the Huawei applications.
Actually what I want it is a file that can be installed on the phone to turn the Chinese into English French German Italian I think it would help a lot of people.
as far as i know the chinese hivoice control is only available in chinese, thats why i suggested switching to google app... try and disable the chinese voice control when using google app, maybe thatll help with the described conflicts. what exactly did go wrong, in what apps?

Change Google Maps language without changing system language

Hi everybody,
my name is Vincenzo. I am an italian guy and i have found a solution for anyone who wants to change language in Google Maps (or any other app) without changing system language. I registered only for this, I hope can help. (sorry for my bad english)
You need:
- Root, Xposed
- App Settings version 1.13
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3543022&d=1447594751
After accepting module, go to App Settings, found your app and set on "Settings". There is an option, "Locale". Choose your language (only for this app!) and save on the top , right.
My Maps now is in Italian (with Italian voice).
Tested with Moto G Titan, MM 6.0.1 - AOSP CAF

Speach Recognition / Speech to Text (TTS) for alternative OS without google apps

I installed LineageOS on my pixel 2 without google apps (using lineageOS for microG).
For some applications as duolingo, I am missing speech to text to be able to learn with duolingo by speaking. I was able to use the built-in speech recognition feature in the past with lineageOS, but lost the support when Upgrading. I remember I installed some app, but do not remember which one. I do not want to install the whole Gapps, only the apps needed for this specific feature.
Can someone help me out here please?
