Description

I'm having the same problem in Android, I'm initializing the SpeechPlayerProvider like that:
SpeechPlayerProvider speechPlayerProvider = new SpeechPlayerProvider(getContext(), "ar", true, voiceInstructionLoader);
and not able to get the speech player speak the arabic road name.
Can anyone help? what is the suitable way to let speech player speak road name in Arabic on Android.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Android with SpeechPlayerProvider initialized for "ar" and the provided voiceInstructionLoader. Trace how the Arabic road name is passed into speech synthesis and determine why it is skipped in a Latin-script instruction; done means the Arabic road name is spoken correctly.
