Change voice control language

Post by Sachadep
Hello !

The other day I wanted to try out the voice commands but the language was wrong and I couldn't change it.

It's set in dutch and I want it in French, can anybody help me ?

Thanks in advance! :)

I guess it's a nasty bug that is there from the beginnig and no one ever fixed.
Sad but true.

I noticed that Waze's voice guidance changes when you go to a different country, according to the native language of that country,
So if I go to China, Waze thinks that I suddenly speak Chinese, and switch to the Chinese voice.

Morover, I lose the possibility to switch back to the original voice guidance with street names.

Too bad, Waze... :evil:

I also have a similar problem. It seems to me that the language for the voice control is always set according to the country you're in. at least to me in Austria it speaks in german, in italy in italian, in france in french. Now I do not use the maps with street names (for a similar issue) my map is in Italian and my app language is english. I would like one of the two to be always used for voice commands also

I have a similar problem, everything is set to English, but the voice commands (3 finger tap) is in Spanish for some reason. I searched all the options, also in the phone options, but everything is English.
