How to set up French Language for Google Assistant AIYProject ? about aiyprojects-raspbian HOT 21 CLOSED

(Based on the feedbacks given in this thread.)

cd /home/pi/AIY-projects-python
cp src/examples/voice/assistant_grpc_demo.py src/examples/voice/assistant_grpc_demo_fr.py

Edit
src/examples/voice/assistant_grpc_demo_fr.py

Between

status_ui.status('starting')
assistant = aiy.assistant.grpc.get_assistant()

Add

status_ui.status('starting')
aiy.i18n.set_language_code('fr-FR')
assistant = aiy.assistant.grpc.get_assistant()

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

@yonisolo gRPC assistant demo allows to set --language command line parameter. Language code must be from this https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/library/languages list. Old aiy.i18n.set_language_code API is already removed.

Hi Anne Romane.

French is currently not supported on the Google Assistant API, but it will come in the future. We don't have a release date yet.

If you only want to do voice commands, you can do that with the Cloud Speech API (but it won't have Assistant responses)

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

Closing, as this is an issue in the backend.

As @alfongj says, if you use the Cloud Speech API (instructions) and change the language in ~/.config/voice-recognizer.ini you can create your own French voice commands. If you'd like, you could create a file fr.po alongside de.po (instructions). Then, you could translate the existing commands to French, and send us a pull request so other users get this.

Hello,

With new release of project , voici-recognizer.ini don't exist ? How do set up french language on last version AIY project ?

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

@chris777c in your code use this setting
aiy.i18n.set_language_code('language code') so for french
aiy.i18n.set_language_code('fr-FR')
alternatively you can set it each time you use aiy.audio.say
aiy.audio.say("I ran the script", lang='fr-FR')

Thank you

@sheridat that's exactly what i've been looking for since weeks

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

@yonisolo Hi things have moved on a bit. The latest version of the assistant can speak more languages.

If your on the voicekit branch - i believe it has been updated to speak other languages

In time the aiyprojects branch will be updated

I don't need the capability - see #235 (comment) which has some more info.

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

Hello,

I reopen subject because the 235 post speak "dirty solution". Does it exist a good solution for setup french assitant in AIY projet ?

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

@chris777c Give it a try with the latest image. Using the Assistant Library, you can change the language with the Google Assistant app. Using the Assistant Service (assistant_grpc_demo.py) you can change the language with the app or with aiy.i18n.set_language_code('fr-FR').

Let us know how that works out for you!

Hello drigz, how to install the "latest image" on AIY already install ?

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

Hi @drigz and @sheridat : I reckon you managed to use the Google Assistant in French (speech and recognition). Is this correct ? I searched everywhere to get it to work (RPi3 and Google AIY Kit, no android phone), but I feel like I'm missing something...
Can you try and make an updated step-by-step, with the right branch to use ?

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

Thanks @gabrielklein ! I tried this before, but maybe too late in the script so it kept speaking English. My workaround for now has been to re-install the whole project using the provided image.
I think the "Hacking.md" way is really obsolete, so I was missing some steps or some new versions of something...
I will try again later on, and let you know if it works.

Hi there :)
I tried this weekend, and nope it doesn't work, it seems that the way the set_language is implemented is not very clear...
However, i saw some quest challenge to test with grpc but i didn't have time to...
please see: googlesamples/assistant-sdk-python#146
and stackoverflow
for details about it!
I'll give it a try later if nobody tried before.
Thanks for keeping this thread open everybody!!!

@chris777c Using the Assistant Library, you can change the language with the Google Assistant app.

How do you manage to do this?
I want to modify the language forassistant_library_with_button_demo.py

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

I sent an email to the aiy project support and they answered me:

Thank you for your interest into AIY projects.

Please refer : https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/library/languages to know what all
languages are supported by Assistant grpc demo.

You can read about python APIs to change the laguage at : https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice /#makers-guide-python-api-reference

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

Please take a look at the docs: https://aiyprojects.readthedocs.io/en/latest/aiy.assistant.html#module-aiy.assistant.library. There is a langauge_code parameter. You should use the latest SD card image from https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/releases

Hi @dmitriykovalev, thank you for your reply, that's really great!!
Some time ago I tried with this code parameters, and it didn't worked at all.
The best i managed to get is speak in french and answered in english, after numbers of tries and without knowing exactly what I did to get it...
Did something change about it in the last Image?
This language problem is so dark where it should be easy...

I tried with this piece of code:

aiy.i18n.set_language_code('fr-FR')
assistant = aiy.assistant.grpc.get_assistant()

Is there any way to get an example in the repository with changed language code?

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

@dmitriykovalev that's a great news!!! I'll give it a try and post my result

from aiyprojects-raspbian.

For library, you have to connect a Google Assistant App with a smartphone (with the same account as on the device) to your device. And then modify the language with this App (tested and works on assistant_library_with_button_demo.py).
For other scripts, just add --language (i.e. fr-FR) to the command line when you launch your script.
