Switching language in TTS according to the langauge of the document
(this is roughly the same as this Sourceforge bug, but reformulated)
I use CoolReader on Android (the latest version out of F-Droid repository)
I guess there is plenty of people who read books in multiple languages (e.g., majority of those who are native non-English have some English books together with books in their native language). If we want to use TTS on them (and thank you, that Coolreader has actually working FLOSS TTS plugin built-in, contrary to some others who have it as a proprietary add-on), we have to switch language in the system settings otherwise I get a bizzare Czech engine trying to pronounce English, which gets too much pretty fast (or I guess, most maintainers are Russians, I cannot even imagine how the nice Harry Potter fanfiction sounds through the Russian language engine).
Considering that every EPub book have its language defined in dc:language element, it shouldn't be that complicated to pull this information out of it and send it (and possibly reinitialize) TTS engine after the start of new book.
Thank you for quite cool reading program!
Implemented:
But language switching for text fragments in multilingual documents is not implemented.
