Re: [tdf-discuss] Get and appove: recommended Soundfile pronouncing LibreOffice
And what is the pronouncation in Esperanto? Can someone to describe it or make a mp3 ? I think Esperanto would be the best solution as LibreOffice is not a home word of any natural language. As for R - there is a lot of words in each language commonly used that are not native ones but became native-like (sputnik, vodka, rum, Windows ...) and are pronounced in the original way. In my country we do not have W in the mother language but nobody translates Windows and everybody pronounces it in English/American way. Best regards, Jiri ... -- OBUTEX spol. s r.o. Ing.

Yes :-) If we agree on a certain pronunciation, then we can ask for professional support to record audio files. Florian once provided me some information on people who offered support quite some time ago - professional speakers (thus, still an open task on my side). Personally, it would be even better (in my opinion), to have a generic video explaining LibreOffice that automatically explains the pronunciation by simply using it. Such a promotional video should be linked from within the website to explain LibO to new users. My 2 ct.

Christoph, I really like the idea of a video explaining LibreOffice. I think a LibO home page video is a great way to introduce users to LibO.

I think the initial concern is with some Asian languages which do not have the 'r' sound, therefore there is difficulty in pronouncing the first part, 'Libre'. Typically, the 'r' comes out as an 'l'. Therefore, 'Libre' = 'Li' + 'Bre', where 'Li' is as in 'LI-ma' (the city), and 'Bre' as in 'BREA-d' (bread).

[tdf-discuss] Get and appove: recommended Soundfile pronouncing LibreOffice
Hi all, there were several requests regarding the correct pronunciation of LibreOffice. The name LibreOffice was choosen by minds mainly from roman/german language area and of course there are no relevant pronunciation issues for those. But there are sometimes heavy ones for minds of other language areas. Some people - mainly from the first category - propose to pronounce deliberately not aware there are severe problems to even catch the idea how to do so. So I start this thread in the hope to get a situation satisfying a wide range of community members. ;o)) My proposal: lets collect proposals for soundfiles pronouncing LibreOffice and have a simple voting for the one we point to, if people ask. This can be Files created by community members or some found in the internet. The first may be preferable due to license issues. This one I estimate quite close on how it appears to the minds of the founders (Don't mind orthography or braindead translation): http://translate.google.com/#de|de|LiebreOffice more proposals? comments?
