Display alphabet and voice guiding
Hello Waze developres!
I just drove through countries that use other alphabets than latin (cyrillic, greek). Waze gave me two nasty surprizes.
First: place names are displayed using the local alphabet, ignoring my interface language choice. Reading names / finding a place was impossible while driving, although i partially know those alphabets. Imagine having to stop on a highway just to find a place. I had to blindly follow the path to intended final destination, without being able to recognize anything on route. I strongly suggest displaying place names in an alphabet matching the user selection for interface language. Or use both local and user selected/english, like in google maps.
Second: after crossing the border of my country, voice guiding automatically switched to english (US, why US?). While english is fine for me, if i wanted english i would have selected it myself. English voice distorts place and street names so much that some are unrecognizable. I suggest Waze adheres to user's choice even when crossing borders. At most, ask the user about changing the voice when a borders is crossed. Choices could be "no, keep my selected voice" and "yes, switch to suggested voice / english".
Thank you for the effort put in developping this great app!
