I wonder if a link could be added to Met Name Database where this pronunciation tool could be accessed directly? One could find the meteorite of interest and along with all of the other details of the meteorite, click on am icon and hear the pronunciation. I'm not sure of Google Translate can be linked directly, but this might be possible,
