Using SSML with DictionaryLocaleStore

Hi @stoiveyp

I'm trying to use the DictionaryLocaleStore with SSML instead of plain text and I can't see how to use this.

Currently I'm using this:

internal static DictionaryLocaleSpeechStore SetupLanguageResources()
{
	var store = new DictionaryLocaleSpeechStore();

	store.AddLanguage("en", new Dictionary<string, object>
	{
		[LanguageKeys.Welcome] = "Welcome to the GEM!"
	});
 	
 	store.AddLanguage("de", new Dictionary<string, object>
	{
		[LanguageKeys.Welcome] = "<speak>Willkommen bei der <phoneme alphabet='x-sampa' ph='gEm'>GEM</phoneme>!</speak>"
	});
	
	return store;
}

And then using it like:

var welcomeMessage = await locale.Get(LanguageKeys.Welcome, null);
response = ResponseBuilder.Ask(welcomeMessage, null));

This doesn't work and Alexa speaks the XML-Code :-)

Can you give me a hint how to use SSML with the stores?

Many thanks - Peter
