Pronunciation inconsistencies in other languages

English isn't alone in different pronunciations for the same spelling.  Put the following phrase in the left box at translate.google.com/#sv/en/

Kerstin kör till kören övning

and click the speaker icon.

If you don't know Swedish, you'll be surprised at what you hear.

BTW, the first "kör" should be translated "drives" instead of "runs".
