I suppose it says something I would never even expect it to work. My experience with voice recognition, in any language, is that is's horribly immature.
For what it's worth, I dictate most of my IMs, text messages, and some short emails through iOS' voice recognition, and it gets dictated punctuation (in English) correct 99% of the time. Android's probably does too, since that bug report thread focuses on languages other than English.
Interesting. You're the first I hear from that uses it. Only knew some impaired people that were using Dragon NaturallySpeaking or something like that.
Until this year, I wouldn't have expected to ever use it myself, but it's just so much faster and requires almost no visual attention. I couldn't imagine going back to pecking everything out on a touch screen now.
I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the past year or so, and it works well once you get over the initial curve of learning to say "cap" and "comma" in all the right places. I couldn't imagine using it for programming, but for dictating things like emails and natural language (like this comment), I've been pretty happy with it.
at least after a few hundred comments and stars someone closed it with WrongForum: "We are not able to provide support for Google products in this issue tracker. Please report this issue in the appropriate Google Product Forum at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/en/
I experienced the same bug, but I will be surprised if that ever gets fixed. This is Google we're talking about here ;)
Yeah, it comes down to when you get something for free, they can do anything they want with it, and all you can do is buy a different product if it gets your goat.

Title is misleading - it is all Western languages except English, at the least. English works perfectly (I can confirm on my Android phone, and have used it for months), but I do feel the pain for the non-English languages that face this problem.
