<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>attached (at the end of mail body) a first PREALPHA ALPHA draft scriptlet to retrieve and play the sound file of wiktionary for a given word.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>Any feedback appreciated if I am on the right track or going in total wrong direction<br>

mplayer installed<br>
mwclient python library downloaded and installed (either in system or in same directory as the script)<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>WHY ?<br>
mplayer is just a temporary workaround as the Python QT4 bindings on ubuntu (and maybe on others too) are not bundling the Phonon package --- Need to clarify why !<br>

This software allows easily to retrieve the ogg files and reduces the code base for the plugin dramatically :O)<br>

o integrate with Phonon to get rid of external app<br>
o integrate with Parley API<br>
o make it configurable based on config file<br>
o support also subcategories (de includes de, de-at, de-ch, .....; en includes en-us, en-gb,.....)<br>
o error handling in case there is no such file<br>
o polishing for a first alpha release<br>
