I am located in Australia. I am using the Early Access program to access the YAML scripting engine for my automations. A few weeks ago I noted that the "assistant.command.Broadcast" command has started using an American voice rather than the Australian voice that I have selected for all my interactions with Google Home.
All my Google devices respond correctly with my Australian selected voice, I think it is called Karen, when I ask questions of the device. It is only the YAML broadcasts that are using the wrong voice.
I interacted with the Google Help AI assistant to see if this was a known issue. The AI confirmed that the YAML scripting engine is still not officially released but localisation issues are important to be reported. It suggested I create a topic here to report the issue.
I welcome any advice on how to correct the voice. Alternatively, I welcome Google's correction to this Internationalisation issue.
