Hi, how have you been?
I am writing to you because I don't know who to address, I was looking at the update, and I would say that there are some inconsistencies that I saw.

There are repeated voices in different languages, the voices of Alonso and Paloma from Spanish (USA) are the same as Jorge and Dalia from Spanish (Mexico).

There is no way to change the language of Jenny Multilingual's voice in the Speech Studio editor.

Thank you very much.

    Hi, for Jenny multilingual voice is a special one, please check this document on how to specify lang tag in SSML.

    Sample SSML: 

    <speak xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis" xmlns:mstts="http://www.w3.org/2001/mstts" xmlns:emo="http://www.w3.org/2009/10/emotionml" version="1.0" xml:lang="en-US"><voice name="en-US-JennyNeural"><prosody rate="0%" pitch="0%">You can replace this text with any text you wish. You can either write in this text box or paste your own text here. Try different languages and voices. Change the speed and the pitch of the voice. You can even tweak the SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) to control how the different sections of the text sound. Click on SSML above to give it a try! Enjoy using Text to Speech!</prosody></voice></speak>

    Also, regarding repeated voices in the different languages, that's by design. Hope this helps.
