Question Connecting localized audio clips that contain numerical values

Hi,

In theory, it could be possible to construct sentences from audio clips although I suspect it could get complicated and require a lot of audio clips that can fit together seamlessly.

Its unlikely that you would have the same audio clips for each language so I would do a language-specific approach.
Maybe create a ScriptableObject to build your sentences and then have each sentence builder asset stored in a Asset Table for the language.

Something like this:

Code (csharp):

1. public class SentenceBuilder : ScriptableObject
2. {
3.     [Serializable]
4.     class AudioClipSnippet
5.     {
6.         public AudioClip audioClip;
7.         public string text;
8.     }
9.  
10.     public List<AudioClipSnippet> audioClips;
11.  
12.     public void BuildSentence(string text)
13.     {
14.         // Go through the text looking for matching audio clips.
15.         // If each snippet is a single word then you can do a split and check each, however
16.         // if some snippets can be longer than a word then you will need a way to try and match the clips. Maybe a Trie could work here?
17.     }
18. }

Alternatively, you could create a class to represent a specific sentence and then configure the audio clips for each part. You would likely need to create an instance for each language so you can handle the word order and structure changing.

I think the key here is to have some sort of ScriptableObject asset that can be added to an Asset Table so you can get the version for the current language.
