Hi,

thanks for the report!

Yes, we don't have the voices for the letters: https://gcompris.net/voicestats/voice_status_de.html (in section "Letters"), that explains it :).

If you know someone who would be interested to help providing the missing voices (or files for German, as we also miss the grammar datasets), feel free to contact us :).

We have a page in https://gcompris.net/mediawiki-1.31.0/index.php?title=Voice_translation_Qt explaining how to record and where to find the strings to record. If it is too technical, we should be able to work with the "raw" audio files.

I'm not sure on which status put to the report. Yes, it's confirmed, but we cannot do anything on our own (except learn German and the prononciation of these sounds which seems quite a challenge if we plan to do it for all the languages which miss sounds :D)
