Can I change the voice of Google Translate in different gender? [closed]

Through some excellent answers I know I can get the MP3 file from text input by using the following URL with properties:

http://www.translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh-TW&q=我要吃餅乾

But the voice on the MP3 is female (I'm using Chinese).

Can I get the voice output on different gender by give additional properties like:

http://www.translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh-TW&q=我要吃餅乾&gender=male

Anyone knows? Thanks a lot!

Can I change the default male voice in Google Translate to female?

The same is applicable when it comes to changing the default male voice in Google Translate to female. Some languages in Google Translate have male voices by default, such as Italian, so if you want to change it to a female voice, unfortunately, the option is not available.

How can I get gender-specific translations on Google Translate?

You can get gender-specific translations on Google Translate in a browser, like Chrome or Firefox. In several languages, you can get gender-specific translations for single words.

Can I change the gender of the voice of the app?

Users cannot choose the gender of the voice, but some of the variants happen to have different genders. On the mobile apps, this is all different, as text-to-speech is provided by the OS.

I was looking for the same, but after doing some research, there is no way to configure the voice. Neither pitch, speed nor gender. The Google TTS API is unofficial, that's why there is unsupported.
