How to set Dutch Language in Text-To-Speech?

I want to set Dutch Language in my TTS object. Following is the code, 

@Override
public void onInit(int status) 
{
    if ( status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS ) 
    {
        int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.getDefault());

        System.out.println ( "Result : " + result  + " " + Locale.getDefault().getLanguage() );

        if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
                || result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) 
        {
            Toast.makeText( this , "Please Set your Language to English US.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show();
        }
        else
        {
            tts.speak( "Hoe gaat het",TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null );
        }
    }
}

Following line sets the language in TTS

int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.getDefault());

Available Locale's in Locale.

Now if my Phone's Language's is Dutch then I am able to set TTS's language as Dutch Language, but if My Phone's Language is not dutch ( for e.g. if it is English ) then there is no option to set the TTS's language as Dutch.

Can anybody help me to set the Dutch language in TTS?

Solution

  • This should work

    int result = tts.setLanguage(new Locale("nl_NL"));
