Summary

Kokoro language errors now list every language in the installed mlx-audio table, including British English. The advertised “British English” label also resolves successfully to its pipeline code.

Changes

  • Derive supported-language labels from the installed aliases and codes, keeping future supported languages visible.
  • Accept British English and display names supplied by the installed table; document the en-gb alias.
  • Add portable regression tests for label completeness, supported-code filtering, and full-name resolution.

Type

  • Bug fix

Testing

40 engine tests passed offline; eight optional/platform-specific cases skipped on Linux. British English selection and advertised-label round-trip regressions failed before the fixes and passed afterward. Full CI runs on this branch.

Checklist

  • Regression coverage and documentation updated.
  • Contributor credit preserved.
  • Current main and full CI green before merge.

Release cadence

Continuous-to-main after review and CI. Related to #2156; profile-language guidance is handled by #2175.

Kokoro now derives supported-language labels from installed mlx-audio tables and resolves names such as “British English” and en-gb. This keeps validation messages complete and supports newer installed language tables without hardcoded updates. The reported test run passed 40 offline engine tests and skipped eight optional or platform-specific cases on Linux; no review findings were supplied.

resolve_kokoro_lang_code validates against mlx-audio's own LANG_CODES —
its docstring is explicit that the vendored table is the only source of
truth — but built the "Kokoro supports: …" list in the rejection message
from the hardcoded _KOKORO_ISO_BY_FULL_NAME instead.

That map exists to translate full names into Kokoro's codes, and it has
no entry that produces "b". British English is reachable as en-gb, and
the existing test asserts resolve("en-gb") == "b", yet the message never
mentioned it: the installed table lists nine languages and the message
named eight. Any language a later mlx-audio adds would be dropped the
same way, telling a user to switch engines when they need not.

Derives the labels from ALIASES and LANG_CODES instead, preferring the
full name a caller can actually pass and falling back to the table's own
description for codes no full name reaches.

The derivation takes the tables as arguments, so its tests run on every
platform. The resolution tests around it need the Apple-Silicon-only
package and skip on every CI runner, which is why a message drifting
from the table it documents went unnoticed.

Fixes debpalash#2156
