Looking at the implementation, it uses Google Translate as backend and not Google Cloud Speech engine, updating the link where supported languages can be seen.

The `google` text-to-speech platform uses [Google Text-to-Speech engine](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/speech.googleapis.com/overview) Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
|
|
|
|
To enable text-to-speech with Google, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
tts:
|
|
- platform: google
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **language** (*Optional*): The language to use. Defaults to `en`.
|
|
- [Complete list of supported languages (Languages where "Talk" feature is enabled in Google Translate)](https://translate.google.com/intl/en_ALL/about/languages/), use 2 digit language code which you can find at the end of url when you click on Language name.
|
|
|
|
A full configuration sample:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
tts:
|
|
- platform: google
|
|
language: 'de'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using SSL certificate or Docker, you may need to add the `base_url` configuration variable to your `http` component as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
#Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
http:
|
|
base_url: example.duckdns.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `base_url` configuration variable was added in 0.35.1, so make sure your Home Assistant version is **0.35.1 or above.**
