Languages other than English in iTunesConnect - app-store-connect

We have an app in the US app store, which we want our users to be able to find in Hebrew as well. so we want them to be able to search for the app name in English or Hebrew and still find it.
Turns out entering keywords in Hebrew doesn't work, ie searching for these keywords in Hebrew in the US store returns no results.
Does the US not support search in Hebrew, or do we need to add Hebrew as a language in the app's metadata in iTunes connect?

Searching in the appStore (in your case US) will of course only bring results in that language (English for now).
If you want it to be available in Hebrew then you will have to put it into the related appStore, while you don't have to translate you whole app into Hebrew except you want your users to have that translation as well.
Hope I could help ;)

Why does Facebook Messenger API chat atuomatically switch languages?

Seems like nobody refers to this kind of problem, but actually I hope it's not a rare case.
I created The Messenger API chat on Facebook business. Default language is English. I copied and pasted the code to the determined website and for a few days everything was ok. Then the chat switched language to a slavic language with the Cyrillic alphabet. Few days later it went back to English and now again it is in Cyrillic alphabet.
Anyone knows what is going on?

Google Detecting Japanese as English in voice recognition

I have created a voice controlled android application. I am giving option to change the locale to Japanese with English being the default one.
The Japanese TTS works perfectly fine. But when the voice recognition comes into picture, the Japanese words are recognized as English words and hence matched with the English words for possible match. Here, the mismatch occurs and hence my problem.
Is there any way google supports Japanese voice recognition.
Adding this if someone else finds this post helpful:
After months of RnD, I found another more accurate offline voice recognition engine i.e Julius. its hard to configure, yet the results are far better than google.

Adding localization with language identifier to an ipad app

I'am coding an iPad app using Xcode. I use Base Internationalization for Storyboards.
So far, I have successfully added many languages, French, English, Spanish.
When trying to add Romanian using Xcode, the process is exactly the same, except the proposed language code is a little bit longer: ro-RO, where French is fr and English en and Splanish es.
No problem so far.
When running the app on the iDevice, I change the system language to Romanian, but my app will keep the last language set, whatever I do.
I suspected something about the longer language code. I've been using git diff to figure out what changes Xcode makes to project files when adding a language support. I see nothing anormal.
I noticed the same with Portugese, wich is pt-PT, so I think the bug has something to do with locales containing a language identifier (_XX).
I suspect that XCode supports language-country codes, even though iOS devices can only work with language codes. The easiest way to fix this I think is to close XCode and go to the Finder, and change the folders "pt-PT.lproj" to "pt.lproj" and "ro-RO.lproj" to "ro.lproj" etc.

What are the available languages for Google Spell?

https://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell?lang=???
I would like to know what language codes (like "en","de","fr"...) could be substituted for ???. I am looking for all of them.
According to Google, the following are the supported languages:
Danish
Dutch
English
Finnish
French
German
Italian
Polish
Portuguese (BR)
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
I'm sure you can extrapolate the two letter codes.
Don't be surprised if you try other languages and they work as well - it's typical for Google to beta test stuff like this live without letting anyone know. You could also install the toolbar and see if any other new languages show up.

Spanish voice for System.Speech.Synthesis and TTSEngine

I have successfully managed to get System.Speech.Synthesis to read English text in arbitrary voices Anna and Sam. My next task is to localize my application to correctly read Spanish text to our Spanish-speaking clientele.
However, I don't think I am asking the right questions, b/c I cannot find in documentation, forum, group or technology write-up any clear explanation on how this might be done.
1st: Am I correct in saying that there is no setting on the SpeechSynthesizer class or any other Text-To-Speech object? In other words, is it only a matter of installing the correct voice that will read with a Spanish "accent"?
2nd: How does one do this? I have seen links for Spanish libraries that I have tried installing, but I am never able to see these new voices in my Windows XP Speech control panel or in my application's GetInstalledVoices() call.
I am using .Net 3.5 SP 1 one Windows XP SP3, and my code is using Visual Studio 2..8.
If I am missing details, please let me know.
I would appreciate any help.

having done this before..
First thing you need to do is get a spanish "Voice Font"..
See http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/
The next thing you need to do is translate your text from english to spanish.
Then you pass your spanish translation into the TTS engine, using the spanish voice font.
Speaker.SelectVoice("<voiceName>");
