Why is MMS-TTS-ITA model not available?

Models

Hi, I think the tittle talks by itself. I was trying different models from the mms-tts family, and I could not find the mms-model for italian. In the main page of the model the italian doesn’t appear, but in the supported-leanguages section it refers to the following link:

https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/mms/misc/language_coverage_mms.html

This link is supposed to contain the languages covereged by the mms models, and there the italian appears.

Is there any problem with that model?

Thanks for your answers!!
Greatings!

Basically, the languages supported in the model card are self-reported by the author or company, so there are often cases where languages are missing for no reason.

Anyway, the model is written as supporting ASR for Italian but not TTS. In other words, the model can understand Italian, but it does not have the ability to pronounce it.
Perhaps that is why it is not listed.
