• Location: Sometimes inside the voice ZIP or content/lang/
• Function: Overrides automatic pronunciation of French street names. Example: "Saint-Étienne" is forced to /sɛ̃.t‿e.tjɛn/ instead of a literal reading.
• Importance: Critical for accurate French road name pronunciation, especially for hyphenated or abbreviated names ("Pl." → "Place").

• Missing accents in menus: Old .lng files saved as ANSI instead of UTF-16 LE.
• Silent voice: Voice file version mismatch (e.g., Primo 2.4 voice used on Primo 1.2). Solution: extract .ogg files and re-zip with correct index.
• Garbled street names: TTS engine missing French phonetic lexicon. Fix: install French TTS resource file from the same provider (Loquendo or Nuance).

"The UI cuts off text like 'Prochain carrefour à gauche'." Location: Sometimes inside the voice ZIP or content/lang/
