I’ve put together a solid setup using a Jetson Orin NX board with Whisper, Ollama, and Piper, and I’m quite pleased with the results. However, my household is multilingual, and while the AI backend handles this fine, I can’t seem to configure it properly within Home Assistant. Has anyone else run into similar issues?
#HA language agnostic voice assistant

@worldly sequoia currently you can have multiple languages in the form of voice pipelines. There is yet no way to have a full agnostic way. You have to choose a default language, but you can have pipelines in other languages. I saw some people achieved this with a physical button to switch language. You can even program the button on HA Voice PE to switch between languages.

@robust solar shame, all components of the pipeline are able to handle different languages, just not ha 🙁

Maybe there can be a language detection model.. Not sure if it is something mind for the team involved. I could check though.

@robust solar shouldnt whisper not already be capable of detecting the language? I'm not sure if its included in the whyoming response, but it seems would seem like a cool feature

I am not sure.. It is something to confirm. What i heard is planned for voice assistant is having different wake words for different languages. That also would solve the problem, right?
worldly sequoia
yup, that would also work, the only drawback being that its not as cool 😄
