Multi-language Support? #15

Closed lucasjinreal closed 6 years ago

lucasjinreal commented 6 years ago

Is there any multi language support planning, such as Chinese? Or any instructions for prepare dataset for training?

Hello @jinfagang, thank for reaching out.

I am supposing you're asking for something similar to this issue.

As proposed in that issue, I suppose that updating symbols under symbols.py (i.e: add Chinese characters in the _characters variable)

As for the preprocessing, for the moment, I only support data stored in the same folder format as Ljspeech (wavs folder + metadata.csv). If you have a dataset with the same structure, preprocessing should be done without any changes.

If the dataset structure is different, feel free to share the dataset with us, I will add support for it if it isn't much work :)

Thank you very much for your contribution!

UPDATE: You can refer to this issue for an example of my repo's adaptation to work with Chinese Mandarin.
