bug: Cannot change transcription language about whispercpp HOT 4 CLOSED

You have to change it from the Whisper instance

w = w.Whisper.from_pretrained("tiny")
w.params.language = "it"
w.transcribe(arr)

from whispercpp.

Well, I tried also doing that, however I get this error whisper_lang_id: unknown language 'ӄ'
In fact, after the language property is edited, accessing to w.params.language gets UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xce in position 0: invalid continuation byte

from whispercpp.

I think there is a bug with the params c_str right now. Feel free to put up a PR to fix it. It is in src/whispercpp/api_export.cc for the Params obj.

Wish I could but I cannot... Hope someone else can fix this soon!
