Read and listen to your translation

If you're trying to translate to a non-Roman script, you'll see a Read
phonetically link next to the translation. Clicking this link will
spell out the translation in Roman(Latin) characters. This feature is
currently available for Armenian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese,
Georgian, Greek, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Maltese,
Russian, Serbian, Thai and Ukrainian.

For many languages, you may see also a speaker button near the
translated text. Click this icon to hear a machine-generated spoken
version of your translation. This feature is currently available for
English, French, German, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian and Spanish.

An experimental text-to-speech system (TTS) is available for several
other languages, powered by the eSpeak open-source speech synthesizer:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Catalan, Chinese (Mandarin), Croatian, Czech,
Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian,
Latvian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian,
Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Welsh. You
may notice significant differences in speech quality between the
experimental languages and the other available languages.
