When choosing the languages to cover in the public release, we mostly tried to choose the widely spoken languages that have some available data + some languages from the CIS:

(also we did not add any tonal languages or Chinese, because we do not have any expertise at all with them).

If we were planning it now probably we would exclude German, but there was a too high quality dataset avaiable, the model could be useful for us for transfer learning due to similar phonemes with Russian.

So the answer is - yes, of course it is possible, but only on commercial basis.
