Add Telugu

Please add support for Telugu voice. It is one of the most spoken language in world with around 100 millions speakers.

There is a high need for Indic language support.

I can quote that Telugu is one of the sweetest languages too. It is worth having voice and that too from Mozilla.

@r_TlfPuogHW2i9hdoQY1tGww @joelvinaykumar we are indeed translating the website into Telugu:
https://pontoon.mozilla.org/te/common-voice/

The next step would be to look for public domain (cc-0) sentences for people to read in that language. Or you can sign up to help that translation (looks like Joel is already involved).

Sure @mhenretty !!
Let’s involve others to join the project as well.

Everyone is invited! We made a discourse post about this, and will soon participate in Mozilla’s Global Sprint to get more people collecting sentences:

We’ve completed 100% localization 2 days back, still our language version site is not up " voice.mozilla.org/te "

Please make it available, that would boost enthusiasm in local community. Thanks!

That’s awesome, thanks! I just ran the import script, which added Telugu to the list of translated languages. Unfortunately we won’t deploy before the weekend, so I hope early next week would also be enough of an enthusiam boost :upside_down_face:

Early next week means monday-14th may?

It’ll likely be today (in ~4 hours)
