[Marble-devel] Chinese Voice for Marble

Hello,

During Desktop Summit I heard that Marble need Chinese voice. I've
found a female contributor who would like to do this, and hopefully
I'll find another friend to do the male voice. But I found a problem
to the translation of concatenated phrases.
For example to this sentence: After.ogg + <Distance> + <Distance Unit>
+ <Turn Instruction>
The exact Chinese translation should be At.ogg + <Distance> +
<Distance Unit> + Later.ogg + <Turn Instruction>
but we can do this in <Distance> + <Distance Unit> + Then.ogg + <Turn
Instruction>
Anyway the order of concatenated phrases is different in Chinese, how
does Marble handle this problem? Does it sort concatenated phrases in
different languages differently?

Best Regards,
Yue Liu
