Chinese doesn't appear in the text-to-speech language selection. How do I create a Chinese voice?

Hi @B2_HS,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Instead of using the console method, you can try the Cloud Shell method. I tried replicating the issue and successfully generated audio in Chinese using the Cloud Shell terminal with the parameters languageCode: "cmn-CN" and name: "cmn-CN-Standard-A" for Mandarin Chinese. You can refer to this documentation on supported voices and languages, as there are other regional Chinese voices available.

You can also follow these steps to convert text to synthetic voice audio, including how to decode the results from the Text-to-Speech API.

Additionally, you can refer to this documentation to list all supported voices programmatically.
