I can confirm that the name of the street is not announced when selecting “Listen to street name”. I tried it with all the voices in the drop down and none of the voices are announced.

Same in Korean.

Hi @south_korea2,

Do you mean that the following issue occurs on your end with the Korean voice?

Hi @Vladyslav-Staff ,

Yes,

This feature doesn’t work in the Korean Waze map editor website.

Hi @south_korea2,

Good news! The issue has been resolved on our side.

Could you please check on your end and let us know if everything is working as expected?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi @Vladyslav-Staff ,

English was working well, but the Korean doesn’t work. It doesn’t sound.

Thanks

Hi @Vladyslav-Staff ,

Also, it will be great if there is ENGLISH (Austrailia)

Hi @south_korea2,

Sorry for the late reply, but I would like to inform you that we are still working on this. I see active internal communication, and the squads are doing their best to implement the Korean language.

I’ll transfer your request to the team regarding English (Australia) as well; I’ll inform you of any further updates in this thread, so keep an eye on it!

Take care,
Vladyslav
