Dutch welcome has the wrong pronunciation #7

Gcompris should be pronounced as the French "j'ai compris", IPA: /ʒ‿e/, meaning "I understood".

In the Dutch welcome message however, the voice says "je compris", IPA: /ʒə/, which is grammatically incorrect. (it would be "je comprends" then)

Thank you for the report!

Unfortunately, we haven't kept contact with the person who first recorded the voices (it was 14 years ago looking at the logs). As the program is open-source, if you are willing or know someone who wants to record the correct voices, feel free to tell us.

We have these instructions https://gcompris.net/wiki/Voice_translation_Qt to help for a good quality recording.

Cheers,
Johnny
