Wizzittle launched as a new single page multi-language pronunciation dictionary.

 Wizzittle.com now provides a "single pane of glass" multi-language pronunciation dictionary.

The initial version supports the following languages:

Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.

That's a fair chunk of the global population covered if both first and second languages are considered - circa 4.5 billion people (including the 60 million or so Italian speakers thrown in for good measure).

Chinese and Japanese both have well established Romanisations (pinyin and romaji) although in both cases the dictionary also supports Chinese/Japanese character searches as well.

Regional accent options are provided where appropriate.  So, for example, there are 6 English accent options as well as 4 for French and 3 for German.

The dictionary is based on the Wirdz dictionary engine.  The wirdz dictionary site includes a number of additional languages already available.  Five billion and beyond is well in view.
