Gemini 2 Realtime Can’t generate audio in Russian (generates some noise instead - like words reversed or something)
I tried
gemini-2.0-flash-exp (in Ai Studio or Vertex , web or api)
gemini-2.0-flash-001 (in Vertex)

Gemini 2.0 currently does not support any language other than English.

Hm… no, it speaks Spanish, Italiano, Thai - all fine. But no luck with Russian or Ukrainian

I think it’s because Russian and Ukrainian languages are Slavic. Maybe the Gemini team doesn’t gather enough data for proper training for this group of languages ._.
Perhaps it’s also worth trying Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, and other Slavic languages.
