To be fair, the extra phonetics weren't meant to recreate the languages fully, and weren't really meant to make her multilingual. They were really meant to help her overall with Catalan.

People who treat her like she can replace entire language vocals really have low expectations, thats how I feel. We had a similar thing with SeeU, when a few extra Phonetics were added. While they did give her the missing sounds for closer English, it was the fact the rest of the sounds needed were recorded for Korean, thus threw everything off. It wasn't the accent alone, but rather how the sounds behaved that did it. In the end, this is why we were going to get SeeU English, because it wasn't a replacement for an actual English vocal.

Then again, a master of phonetic ending should be able to get around the restrictions of any language. While the result is never as good as a voicebank built for the language, it is enough to get *something* that resembles enough of the language.
