We have redesigned the language page to help you find who are the best pronouncers in every language. We called these users “The A-team“, so “If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire them. ”
See an example on Russian.

This is an amazing milestone:
100.000 pronunciations.
The #100.000 is a dutch word: Nu of nooit. Next step is 1.000.000. There are also 118 languages with at least one pronounced word and 52 with more than 100 pronounced words.
Forvo is a language site so, as you could imagine, we are translating Forvo to more languages in 2009, starting with Forvo in spanish… right now.
Es un placer para los que hacemos Forvo sacar la versión en este idioma, que al fin y al cabo, es el nuestro.
More languages to come soon. And if you´d like to collaborate in any particular language contact us.
It´s been a long time since last changes so we have selected some really frequented questions to include them in Forvo´s FAQ. Main topics are:
3. What do you mean with “all the words in the world”?
7. What about words with more that one pronunciation?
12. Please add “that language”.
The number of pronunciations continues growing faster and faster and there are more than 80.000. The 80.000th word is Lieutenant Governor.
