Adding a second language to Rhasspy

[hugocoolens]

I have installed Rhasspy 2.5.5 in a docker, using docker-compose. The installation was done for the Dutch language. I would like now to add English as a second language. I wonder if this can be done such that I can choose in the Rhasspy settings web interface between Dutch and English? And of course without breaking my current installation.
You can see my current docker-compose.yml here below:

version: ‘3.7’

services:
rhasspy:
image: rhasspy/rhasspy
container_name: rhasspy
restart: always
volumes:

• /home/pi/containers/rhasspy/profiles:/profiles
  ports:
• 12101:12101
  devices:
• /dev/snd:/dev/snd
  command: --user-profiles /profiles --profile nl
  node-red:
  image: nodered/node-red
  container_name: node-red
  restart: always
  volumes:
• ./node-red:/data
  ports:
• 1880:1880
• 1883:1883
  environment:
• TZ=Europe/Brussels

kind regards,

This is not yet possible, see also this discussion about multilingual profiles:

Multilingual profiles

Hi all, Just starting to set up rhasspy now. One drawcard for me was the Rhasspy is an offline, multilingual voice assistant toolkit portion of the readme. Perhaps though, I interpreted this incorrectly. I live in a multilingual household, and ultimately would like to have English, Swedish and Mandarin interchangeable. Seemingly, whilst rhasspy supports all three languages, I can only choose one profile from this set at a time. Would it be possible to create a combined profile? Would this be …

For now you could do this by setting up a Dutch and an English Rhasspy instance, each with their own profile, which is a bit cumbersome of course.

Thanks for your feedback. But when I read your answer I’m not totally sure what you mean by “This is not yet possible” (My fault, I should have formulated my question more clearly)
Do you mean:

1. It is not possible to add a second language afterwards
2. It is not possible to add a second language afterwards without breaking the existing system
3. It is not possible to install Rhasspy with multiple language profiles

In fact I would be happy with “3” and do a complete reinstall. Is that just a matter of changing the line
command: --user-profiles /profiles --profile nl
to something else like:
command: --user-profiles /profiles --profile nl en

kind regards,
Hugo

It’s actually:

4. It is not possible to use multiple languages in one profile.

To be clear: you can install multiple profiles. I have both en and nl profile directories in my /home/pi/containers/rhasspy/profiles. I just don’t use them at the same time.

So you could start one Rhasspy container with command: --user-profiles /profiles --profile nl and one with command: --user-profiles /profiles --profile en. I think this procedure from the previously linked topic should work, although I haven’t tried this myself yet.
