For context on the prior work behind German language support for Kokoro, see my comment on issue #290. The pipeline wiring in this PR (ALIASES, LANG_CODES, CLI registration) mirrors what I implemented in semidark/kokoro-deutsch, published April 10 -- a week before this PR was opened. I'll be submitting a separate PR that ties the pipeline integration to actual trained German voices and the training recipe. |
