I'm not sure how it's implemented exactly, you'd need to go browse the amethyst repo for that, but I've tested it on some japanese names and it works pretty well. It's a robotic voice so it's not natural but the pronounciation is not american. It actually pronounces the hiragana and katakana.

ok, transliterating japanese alphabetical symbols isn't that hard to do but what if i give it кирилица? like молоко или хорошо или покажи мне любов

Okay I tested it some more and it's pretty terrible with R's. It does use an american pronounciation. Could be worse though.

it's probably possible to get it to do a better job but would require the user to download the relevant language pack and specifying the language.
