           Summary: add automatic download of pronunciation files from
                    Wikimedia Commons
           Product: parley
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: parley-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: derbeth at interia.pl


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

The main Parley website suggest helping in recording pronunciation files for
Parley. This does not make any sense: Wikimedia Commons already has about 12
000 free-licensed audio files for English
(http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pronunciation), about 9 000 for
Dutch, 7 000 for French, 5 000 for Russian - and many, many more. There are
_75_ languages, for which there are some pronunciation files. The task is to
utilise these materials.

My bug 175070 discusses a proposal how to make user interface for fetching
files and displaying copyright information for them:

Plus, there could be a special Parley directory for saving downloaded
pronunciation files, so that they won't duplicate between different
dictionaries. However, because such files are not big (about 17 KB each), it's
not urgent.
