IMPORTANT NOTE: The end user of your game must have a tts engine on their android device, most android devices come with the engine but most do not have the language plugins, but the extension will prompt the user to install them if they are missing.
ALSO the chinese and japanese languages require a 3rd party tts engine and language plugins to work and they may have to be installed manually by the user, but that shouldn't be a problem if you live in those countries.
