01 is Running in Arabic!

[ashajjar]

I am not sure if this a bug though 😅

It is the first time I run 01 on my Mac. The system language is set to English, I have however installed Arabic keyboard that I use occasionally. When I start 01, and hold the spacebar, it starts responding in Arabic. How can I change that?

• OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1
• Python Version 3.12.2

That's a weird one! Is it just the keyboard that's causing it to respond in Arabic? Are you speaking English to it when recording? I'm also noticing that you're using python 3.12, 3.11 works best, but I don't think that's the issue here

I spoke English to it.. I did not expect it to speak Arabic (silly me 😆 )

I will try with 3.11 and report back

I found out what the issue is, so my spotlight command is not COMMAND+SPACE it is rather OPTION+SPACE because I use command space to switch language on the keyboard!

The problem is that when I ask the interpreter to open Chrome for example, it switch to the next language which arabic in this case and starts typing in arabic!

Now the question is ! How do I change the defaul key mapping?

[tyfiero]

That makes sense! You could change the system message in software->server->i.py to reflect your different key mapping, maybe include a sentence that tells it to explicitly use opt+space for spotlight

I changed that but did not work! should I rebuild?

I just encountered this issue and I don't have an Arabic keyboard installed. My guess is that 01OS is choosing the first language in a list to speak, hence Arabic is spoken. Also, I am on aarch64 Armbian 24.2.1 fresh install.

Lol, I fixed it by asking the 01 not to speak Arabic and it chose English and now responds in English.

I would really like to know the "Why?" though.
