Language issue in navigation

Hello,

I am a happy user of Epix Pro which I also use for navigation : I select an activity, e. g. hiking, and then select a previously downloaded track. If may Android phone is with me, I not only see signs to turn left/right on the watch but I also hear navigation commands, such as 'turn left in 57 meters'. Nice. However, the German version has some languages issues, for example, the voice tells me 'rechs' instead of 'rechts'. Garmin seems not to like 'ts'.

Maybe Garmin could fix this? Thanks!

As per Garmin explanation it's not a bug ........................ but in all my tests the behavior is erratic and absolutely not "normal".

Audio Prompt Voice Playback

If you have Bluetooth headphones paired to your Garmin device or paired smartphone or tablet, the native voice settings will vary.

When the Bluetooth headphones are only paired to the Garmin Device, the audio prompt voice will follow your setting selections from the Garmin Connect app.
If you have your Bluetooth headphones paired to your smartphone or tablet, the audio prompt voice may default to your smartphone's text-to-speech settings instead.

NOTE: Audio prompts sounding through the watch's speaker will use the audio prompt voice settings that are set in the Garmin Connect app.
