I’ve recently started learning dutch. And I’ve gotten into the habit, whenever I learn a new word or phrase, of quickly typing it into google and listening to the audio to verify the pronunciation.
Do people find the audio on google translate to be accurate?
Sometimes I have the same problem.
In the Target Language side, mouse over the bottom of the text box. You may see icons you did not see before. There are 5 icons. The third and middle icon looks like an A with two dots on top.
Click the third and middle icon (that looks like an A with two dots on top).
Now you see the phonetic version of the translation below the target language box.

Look the symbol with the red around it on the right side. That is the icon button you need to click on if the phonetic translation is not being displayed automatically.
you can change to another chrome extension. Google translate extension cannot do this
Translating a word from the alphabet of one language to another(get the pronuntiation), is named transliteration and it is not supported by Cloud Translate API yet.
However, there is a feature request filed for the same. You can vote for this feature by clicking "+1" and "STAR" mark to recieve updates on it.
I was also looking for the same answer. I haven't found a way to get Pronuntiation with the Google Translate API yet. However, I found a way to get it through the Python library. You can use the Python googletrans library. The code is as follows.
You must use googletrans library 3.1.0a0 to avoid errors.
# pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0
from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()
SENTENSE = "안녕하세요. 반갑습니다."
LANGUAGE_CODE = translator.detect(SENTENSE).lang
k = translator.translate(SENTENSE, dest=LANGUAGE_CODE)
print(k)
print(k.text)
print(k.pronunciation)
Output:
Translated(src=ko, dest=ko, text=안녕하세요. 반갑습니다., pronunciation=annyeonghaseyo. bangabseubnida., extra_data="{'translat...")
안녕하세요. 반갑습니다.
annyeonghaseyo. bangabseubnida.
Do you guys check up with the Google Translate (voice input) to see if your pronunciation is allright ? I nail it often but sometime it seems that my phone doesn't catch what I say at all.
ex: I was trying เกลียด earlier and it gave me:
เรียบ
เบียร์
เรียก
Even if my "ก" is good in other words, so I'm wondering if it's just maybe the application that is somewhat a bit capricious with thai ? Do you guys nail it 100% of the time with every words ?
