SUMMARY

This article explains how users creating non-English voice applications can include characters that the desired language requires.

SYMPTOMS

Users is creating a voice application that needs to use non-English characters.  For example, Russian or many Asian languages.

RESOLUTION

In order to support these characters Audium Studio should be configured to use a file encoding format that supports the storage of the characters:

1. From the menu choose Windows -> Preferences -> Editors.

2. Set the "Text file encoding" setting to a value that supports the desired characters (an example of a valid encoding is UTF-8).

3. For each Audium voice application that needs to support these characters, right-click on its project in the Navigator view and choose Properties.

4. In the Audium General Settings section, list the same encoding you specified in step 2.

After making these changes and saving and deploying a voice application that uses these characters, you can test the voice application in a web browser to ensure the changes were successful.

Additionally, please ensure that your voice browser and TTS engine support the encoding format you have specified.  Refer to the documentation for each of those systems for this information.
