There was some discussion of that. Two (very

Wikipedia is not paper. Or one tape deck.
Thus, one word, say "aluminium" could have several pronunciation entries.

Hoi,
For Wiktionary we want MANY pronunciations. The word aluminium can be
found as
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Nl-aluminium.ogg on
Commons. This is the Dutch pronunciation. There are more language that
spell aluminium (
http://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/aluminium ). Because of
a naming convention, I do welcome all pronunciations for this word. It
would take someone from Great Britain to do an en-en-aluminium.ogg
file.. A soundfile with fr da no and sv would also be very much appreciated.
If we want to have the pronunciations of all words Geordie, we only need
to establish a naming convention for it and stick to it. Nothing major,
no rocket technology.. It is not difficult, we have a solution :)
Thanks,
GerardM
