Would it be a simple task to create a english model?

I really like this project!
I happen to speak english and would like to try and make a TTS run by Tacotron which runs english.
Would you be able to lead me in the right direction to making a english alternative?

There are some english models already exist.

Thank you for your response,
I did indeed see this demo for english, though I have found it was not quite a android tts engine. It only allowed inputs of text within the application (not system wide). Would it be possible to port the english models from the demo into your engine? I thoroughly appreciate your patience with me.

This project is just a simple example and I have no plans to write an English version.
In the future, there will definitely be models that support multiple languages, and this project will be phased out then.
