Summary
This PR improves Navi's multilingual speech behavior for bilingual and non-English usage.
What changed

Before this change, local TTS often inherited the wrong browser or system voice and could read English with a Spanish accent. Speech recognition also behaved inconsistently for bilingual usage because it was effectively biased toward the English-only transcription path, while the smaller multilingual model struggled more with non-English accents and short utterances.
