Description

Its not too uncommon for Android users to request ways to have the English voices with Russian text. We only really need to probe for pl.mpq and ru.mpq as they are the only ones that can be installed automatically (the rest requires manual conversion by the user)

Research direction
The issue requests adding an option to select voice over language, specifically probing for pl.mpq and ru.mpq files. Begin by examining how voice files are currently loaded in the codebase, likely in the resource or audio module (e.g., in source/resource.cpp or source/audio.cpp). Then add a configuration setting and UI element to choose the language. Consider existing language settings in the Options menu for reference. Ensure the probing logic is efficient and the option is user friendly.
