This is the logs when debug logging is enabled. Looks like lt is missing from langs dictionary. After more investigations, I've found that Home Assistant uses gTTS python library, which sadly has no support for LT language yet. So this langs dictionary is the internal gTTS library dictionary and not the one from Home Assistant.

I think this issue could be solved very easily and very quickly: Home Assistant could just set lang_check=False here, during gTTS instance creation (lang_check arg is True by default, if not set). This would not check gTTS internal supported language set and would try to execute the tts request. I would say that this is the preferable approach, especially knowing that in the worst case scenario the request would just fail, and in the best case- more languages would be supported out of the box.

@pvizeli Could someone look into this? The fix should be very trivial IMO.

Still not working... Please, fix it... it's very useful and necessary functionality.

[Armikas]

Any news on this issue?

Google cloud arba microsoft tts :)

Sorry for piggy-backing on this issue, however I don't see any other way to contact andriukas. You keep using some crappy automatic translator to translate HA into Lithuanian. Please read what you are translating. Music "player" gets translated into "gamer" for Lithuanian translation (as it's done without any context), and your machine translator adds a bunch of spaces, after each new line or in between quotes. There are a bunch of other mistranslations that have to be periodically fixed after you submit it to the lokalise service.

[Pajuris]

Andiukas... it's not completed.

Andiukas... it's not completed.

Nothing solves the problem, but there are other alternatives

[Pajuris]

Anyway... keep it open.

Hi, I see that the Lithuanian language has been added on 2024 07 20 https://github.com/pndurette/gTTS/blob/main/gtts/langs.py, but the integration is still broken.

[Pajuris]

HA Version? Automation YAML?

[andiukas]

[Pajuris]

Och.... February, 2025 release. I will wait few days for official release and will test it. Thanks.

[soundvibe]

Yeah, this should be fixed in 2025.2 release.
