Experimental Features (Optional)

• Auto-Detect Player Language (Experimental):
  Villagers attempt to automatically respond in the language you speak.
  ⚠️ Note: Only works properly for major languages, and depends on accurate speech input.
• Preferred Response Language (Experimental):
  You can override auto-detection and force villagers to respond in a fixed language.
  ⚠️ Recommended to leave on Default unless you specifically want villagers to always speak e.g., German, Spanish, etc.
  ⚠️ Text-to-Speech quality and behavior may vary depending on the language, your Windows speech voices, and the model used.
  ⚠️ Some languages may produce odd or incomplete sentences.
