</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Would it be copasetic to do an audio file of the wren in Spanish even though I'm not native?

Hi, Ben!</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I don't see why you should not do it. After all, that wouldn't be the first narration by a non-native speaker.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">However, even though it may be obvious to us, I now think that we should flag such narrations as "non-native" or such, also those of old language varieties as "hypothetical pronunciation" or something like that.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Now, I definitely think it would be nice if we got audio files for the French, Spanish and Italian version at least, besides at least one Scots one. And we have speakers of all of these on the List. However, audio recordings of lesser-heard minority languages is what lots of people are really after. So, folks, try to find people that can help us with those.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Here are the lists of translations on which those without audio files are unmarked:
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><ul style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chinese (simplified)</span>: <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/contents-zh-jianti.php">

By the way, the multilingual offering of the list of contents is proving to be very effective; it attracts people from all over the world.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
By providing the list in a number of key languages we make it easier
for many people all over the world to quickly scan the the contents and
select what they are interested in.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Here for our Japanese members: If I sent him or her a draft of the table of contents in Japanese, would someone proofread it for me?
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I'm asking this because there seems to be considerable interest in these things in Japan.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Of course, it would be great to have an Arabic version as well. Any volunteers?</span>
<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Thanks.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
