FYI, After model download, I get an error:

  There was an error with the tts initialization

Using LineageOS+Microg and eSpeak for TTS (equivalent android version = 13). This setup works fine for TTS with the commercial map application, Here WeGo Maps.

Unfortunately you are not the only one having this problem (https://github.com/niedev/RTranslator/issues/8), these days I will try to solve this bug, for now it has top priority.

Thanks for pointing me to that bug report. And, thanks for working on it :).

Your initial fix of not disabling the entire app's functionality if it can't get TTS working sounds like a good one.
