You can't just cut the region code off and then replace it with upper cased language code.

For Chinese, there are Simplified Chinese - zh_CN and Traditional Chinese - zh_TW. There is no locale such as zh or zh_ZH. For Chinese in Hong Kong - zh_HK, the case is the worst. Normally we will set zh_TW as fallback written language. I am not familiar with Python's locale library, but you can get a list of fallback languages from the $LANGUAGE environment variable. And there are spoken languages. Most Hong Kong population speak Cantonese, for that we should pass zh_YUE to Google Speech Input/TTS, for Mandarin either of zh_HK, zh_CN or zh_TW is okay.

I found a list of supported language codes here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14257598/what-are-language-codes-for-voice-recognition-languages-in-chromes-implementati

Recap:

• All locales should be like ab_CD, falling back to ab is fine but not always valid.
• Separate locale settings for both Speech Input and TTS are needed.

Everything is in the tilte

I've started a spanish translation, but I don't know how to deal with "tilde" or other spanish specific accents. The spanish translation need some improvments

Hey, im stil having a issue!

I already have a api key and all dependencies.
I was trying with all the solutions given to problems already registered, but keeps saying that it can not translate.

I have always opened the music player but for use this script i need to pause it and say the command.
i think that with dbus it's possible pause the music and start after the execution of the command.
In this way i set an hotkey for execute the script :-D

Hi

When I try to start certain commands, the commands get executed properly but in the console shows:

I noticed this with these commands:

Just to inform you :-D

Otherwise this is great.

I can't install on ubuntu 18.04.

I get the following message while updating.

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/benoitfra/google2ubuntu/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I am on Linux Mint 17.1. Whenever I tried using any of the module be it google or wikipedia or my own script, it was showing the error "Setup file missing".

The error can be temporarily fixed by commenting out the following line in the librairy/workWithModule.py file:

sentence = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', sentence)

I will file a pull request for this, but I'm not much of an expert on this unicode stuff and am not confident if this is indeed the solution. Meanwhile, this is a temporary solution. I will look into it later.

It's possible set the time for the registration?
I speak the command in two seconds so 5 seconds it's annoying.

I'm able to easily create an RPM package but I don't know if dependancies are the same on Fedora for example

Nothing else happens. This also happens when i select EN as language.

Hello

I do not know how to contribute with git to the repo and if it is even possible if im not accepted as dev or something. So here is an update of the german translation.

I just saw some little flaws in the German translation of the LC_MESSAGES.
Mostly wrong upper and lower case and one time wrong translation of missing args was not correct

Here is a fixed one: http://pastebin.com/tWuQLALS

Can someone make the general python install script so it can be installed in any linux at less?

I've upgraded to Google2Ubuntu 1.1.0 and the "Add" button stopped working. Here's the output when clicking the button:

Also, the "Module setup" button doesn't work. Here's the command line output that's displayed when clicking that button:

Someone on Google + asks me for a Russian translation. I've not the skills to do that. Moreover, I don't know how to deal with cyrillic letter.

Hi, Benoit, for a long time that I wanted to report this but never got the opportunity. The notification that G2U is recording don't disappear after an application or window is open or closed.

It would be cool if it would be possible to sort the commands in the list.
By hand or automatic sorted by alphabet.

For example i got:

open webbroser
play music
close window
stopp music
open console

With this feature the user could make little "groups" of things like the "music group" with the music commands, then the open group with all commands who open things.

Like this:

open webbrowser

open console

play misc

stop music

close window

Hello, I'm using Linux Mint 17 and always returns the message: unable to translate.

Running with su:
gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

For the moment google2ubuntu can only be use to control 1 computer. I've talked with someone on th google+ page. He wanted to use google2ubuntu to controle some stuff in his home.

I don't know how work domotic because I never tried to do such thing and because I haven't got required equipments.

So at the beginning, I want "us" to bring user a way to execute command on others pc (clients). I mean now we can launch the listen.sh/listener.py in background and wait the user to talk. The idea is to provide a modified version of those programs in order to execute them in a distant machine. (My first idea was to use ssh)

So in th gui, in order to manage clients, we can create a window with some field:

• host : client's name
• ip adress : client's ip adress
• a button do activate/deactivate recording on the client
• A config file to use: The idea is to provide a different config file for each client

Remark: Each client will be able for example to shutdown the light of the room, so when the people say "shutdown the light" the action need to be different depending of the activated client

Hello

I'm student and in two weeks, I'm going to start a 6 month internship. I don't want the project to die. So, I'm looking for collaborators. People who will be able to manage issue, bring ideas, develop new tools.

If you are interested please post a little message here ...

it's possible support other languages then english and francais?

Hi,

The entry to start the mailreader is not present in the afore mentioned file

When I load a module from a file, the error message: "Error select a file" is displayed after the file is selected and (sucessfully) loaded. This is just a cosmetic error I believe. See screenshot.

ppa does not exist I need to install an older version of python for this to work I could not get this to work within five minutes of effort.

A lot of the commands start with "exo-open" in Ubuntu 13.10 "xdg-open". also the option "--launch" does not appear to work with error message:
(
xdg-open: unexpected option '--launch'
Try 'xdg-open --help' for more information.
).

I have a preposition maybe wikipedia module should be changed to something like this ??

!/bin/bash

CONTENU="$1"
CONTENU=$(echo $CONTENU | sed "s/ /+/g")
xdg-open http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search="$CONTENU" &

exit 0

because I with the old version I could not us it and the

and maybe change Wikipédia to wikipedia because I think I do not think this software recognizes é letter

If you wind up with /tmp/g2u_dictation existing, you get errors, at least in some cases. The rub is, nothing removes that directory, not even a "purge" remove with apt-get. If you don't know to clobber it manually, it stays in dictation mode which for some reason is not working for me.

I can't switch ibus input method (using Alt+shift) when editing commands. Not sure why but it better to have text fields in a dialog for us to edit them. And if the command is an internal one, it would be nice to let us pick the options in a combo box. Also, the module setup can be merged into this command edit dialog.

There is an issue with merge. Ladios merge has been overwritted by an other merge.
Can you please make a new pull request (the same one)

google2ubuntu 1.1.4 installed from PPA: the help window doesn't display the correct version (1.1.1 is displayed instead of 1.1.4):

Hello,

It'll be nice if you can add a feature to set a different language than the locales.

For example, my mothertongue is french but my system is configured in en_US.

Thanks for this great tool btw!

Hello all translators, I need you (again). I've made an update so translation must be update. This update introduce some new possibilities such as

• pause/play media player (with your own commands)
• set the recording time
• A new window to setup google2ubuntu
• button "try command" and "Module setup" removed when not usefull
• Portuguese translation
• Chinese translation
• Improvements in locale management

So before the next release, some words have to be translated. The default.xml file havn't been changed so there is nothing to do in it. There is only 5 or 6 sentences to translate in google2ubuntu.po

best regards

try do do something with:

rec /tmp/recording.flac rate 16k silence 1 0.1 3% 1 3.0 3%

When i execute the google2ubuntu.py i get this:

After that i have spoken

What would be excellent would be to create a docker image for setting up the development env.
Its obvious that this code base is really old (google transalate api isused avaliable through web-calls any more). I would be advantageous to move this to use Google speech api (paid for by the user obviously)

I use 1.1.4 version (saucy) on Linux Mint 16 MATE.

I tried to remove sound.wav, but it didn't help. Also, I get known that sound.wav is protected from writing. I reinstalled package. But problem is still exists.

Now I just get same notification with "unable to translate" message.

I just tried to install on Ubuntu 14.10 following ppa instructions:

The next release is ready to be publish with:

• new edit/add window
• new nl_NL language support
• new plugin goto.py
• new way to store module's configuration

Next release has to be updated.
