Nest Doorbell Suffers from Mysterious Accent Bug

Google's Nest Doorbell has been experiencing an unusual issue where it randomly switches to a US accent when speaking in languages other than English. This problem affects users outside of the US, particularly those in France and the UK.

The bug causes the doorbell to announce messages in the local language but with a distinct American accent, which can be confusing for users who have set their devices to use a regional voice. For instance, a user in France reported that their Google Home devices at home are set to French, but the Nest Doorbell announces in French with a US accent.

A workaround has been discovered by some users, where adding the US English language as a secondary option and then removing it after a few seconds seems to fix the issue. However, it's unclear whether this solution works for everyone experiencing the problem.
