title: Javascript Native Language Text-To-Speech
body: <p>I'm making a project for school where we'll teach children to calculate for the first time.
  Unfortunately these children can't read so the task will be spoken to them in there native language, which in this case is Dutch.</p>
  
  <p>I've been looking around and most text-to-speech javascript libs provide great support for English, but not for any other language. 
  Also the HTML5 speechSynthesis doesn't support Dutch:</p>

  <p>In further research I've come across an article where you can use Google Translate Voice to generate any text into speech.</p>
  
  <p>You take this as a base URL:
  <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://translate.google.com/translate_tts</a> </p>
  
  <p>Attach your language you want so in my case Dutch </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=nl" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=nl</a></p>
  
  <p>and attach your text:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=nl&amp;q=%22dit%20is%20een%20test%22" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"This is a test" translated to Dutch</a></p>
  
  <p>You would expect this to work with longer text but it doesn't.</p>

  <p>Are there any other solutions? The Google Voice speaks Dutch pretty well so I would like the link to somehow work.</p>
