Your Language Issue

Describe the nature of the problem. It could be poor grammar, sentence structure, incorrect translation, or pronunciation issues. The more detail you can provide, the better:
This is both an MSFS 2020 and 2024 issue.

The word “Mobile,” as in Mobile, Alabama, is mispronounced. It’s being pronounced like the brand, Mobil gas stations.

  "ATCCOM.AGENT_NAME MOBILE APPROACH.0.tts": "Mobile",
  "ATCCOM.AGENT_NAME MOBILE.0.tts": "Mobile",
  "ATCCOM.AIRPORT KMOB.0.tts": "Mobile",
