I installed SDK to try speech recognition.

But I could not find any language packs except US English.

Where are other language packs?

I am disappointed about that.

I wish I could download Perceptual Computing SDK again.

I would also use other languages.

Now, on the current SDK (Gold) there is an option for downloading other languages while installing it.

I haven't seen any other languages while installing the SDK Gold.
If there are updates to the SDK, will we be notificated here in the forum?

It's definitely there, I unchecked American English and selected British English. In sure it was one of the screens in the wizard.

I'm looking for German. I haven't found it.

It seems that they are using Nuance under the hood for the speech recognition.

You can see your currently installed language packs here:

RSSDK\contrib\Nuance\LanguagePacks

I am not sure if it would work, but maybe you could get the language pack from nuance and put them there.

German seems to be officially supported:

    enum LanguageType {
        LANGUAGE_US_ENGLISH     = PXC_UID('e','n','U','S'),        /** US English */
        LANGUAGE_GB_ENGLISH     = PXC_UID('e','n','G','B'),        /** British English */
        LANGUAGE_DE_GERMAN      = PXC_UID('d','e','D','E'),        /** German */
        LANGUAGE_US_SPANISH     = PXC_UID('e','s','U','S'),        /** US Spanish */
		LANGUAGE_LA_SPANISH     = PXC_UID('e','s','L','A'),        /** Latin American Spanish */
        LANGUAGE_FR_FRENCH      = PXC_UID('f','r','F','R'),        /** French */
        LANGUAGE_IT_ITALIAN     = PXC_UID('i','t','I','T'),        /** Italian */
        LANGUAGE_JP_JAPANESE    = PXC_UID('j','a','J','P'),        /** Japanese */
        LANGUAGE_CN_CHINESE     = PXC_UID('z','h','C','N'),        /** Simplified Chinese */
        LANGUAGE_BR_PORTUGUESE  = PXC_UID('p','t','B','R'),        /** Portuguese */
		LANGUAGE_RU_RUSSIAN     = PXC_UID('r','u','R','U'),        /** Russian */
    };

In the GOLD I see only en-US, en-UK, es-LA and pt-BR.

No support for Italian, German, Chinese etc?

None of this language is present in ..\contrib\nuance forlder.

Any news about this?

I use Speech recognition in one of my challenge app, and actually I implement only English dictionary because the Italian is not present.

To be honest, I don't think this is one of the priorities of the dev team.
There are other things that are still not released that would make a larger impact than another language kit, like the 3D scanning for example so I reckon they are just busy doing those other things.

Maybe try installing nuance's language pack separately. and see if the SDK detects them. It may be an easy DIY fix.
I found these links for the language pack (with Italian) for the previous perceptual computing SDK. Maybe they work for this one too.
