Tried to build a local voice cloning audiobook pipeline for Bulgarian — XTTS-v2 sounds Russian, Fish Speech 1.5 won't load on Windows. Anyone solved Cyrillic TTS locally?

Hi Everyone, I just tried this with the help of Claude couse I am not so familiar with CMD and Powershell etc. Tried to build a local Bulgarian audiobook voice cloner - here's what actually happened Spent a full day trying to clone my voice locally and use it to read a book in Bulgarian. Here's the honest breakdown. My setup: RTX 5070 Ti, 64GB RAM, Windows 11 Attempt 1: XTTS-v2 (Coqui TTS) Looked promising - voice cloning from just 30 seconds of audio, runs locally, free. Got it installed after fighting some transformers version conflicts. Generated audio successfully.
