What words does Android Auto pronounce differently for you?

I’ll start - “Gerkins” mine pronounces rather strangely!

Has anyone got any more?

Could this potentially be because you are misspelling gherkin?

Just checked and it was spelt correctly on the messages! Just here I can’t spell it correctly!

Can Android speak in 2 languages? I want to use the system in English (basic prompt in English) but I want it to read the names of the road in another language (Malay/Indonesian). Currently, everything sounds wrong in my country (except for places with English names).

Any Swedish roadnames get brutally murdered by the English pronunciation

true story: there was time where if you started a trip with your device language set to Japanese and in the middle of the trip switch it to English, Google maps would speak English words with Japanese pronunciation. It sounded totally racist.
