well..not at the same place, but sort of related, so I decided to just start one thread

here is an online spot for translation of MANY languages:
http://www.faganfinder.com/translate/

I have not tested or evaluated it, but theoretically, you can translate between Polish & Hawaiian...which could be interesting! I assume this would be a VERY rough approximation..

and here is a collection of recordings of many accents from around the world http://classweb.gmu.edu/accent/

this is a 'bit' strange, as it is a collection of many people reading the same sentence in English, and one can get weary of the same phrase over & over. I wonder how they chose the words to use? It is probably useful to certain research.
