The first half of 2010 we´ve been very busy consolidating Forvo´s infrastructure. Now we are ready to release a bunch of amazing tools for you. Last week we announced Forvo Translate, now it´s time for more:

- Forvo API: More than 100 developers have signed up for an API account since we opened it. Now, we are happy to announce that is completely operative. We would love to see what great websites you create with Forvo pronunciations. Let´s show the world how to pronounce!

Maximum speed at Forvo HQ. After ending the beta stage, now we are happy to announce the first steps of our long-waited API. We have opened a new site to give you more information about it and also to start receiving your pre-inscriptions. If you plan to make your site much interesing using Forvo pronunciations don´t wait to ask for your free API key.

We are quite excited about the news projects and posibilities that the API is giving to you. Pronunciations for your dictionary? A better Google Translate with real human pronunciations? Whatever you want.

Last week also saw the light the German translation of Forvo. We have translated, with your help, Forvo into 11 languages and 5 more are under development. Thanks!
