And you could even download the translations in MP3 format!<\/p>\n<p>This website still exists but since <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adobe_Flash_Player\">Adobe discontinued Flash<\/a> at the beginning of 2021, it now stopped working (the Flash plugin in it, actually) and so the R2 D2 translations disappeared. Luckily, I was able to download some of these translations before the site&#8217;s content was gone.<\/p>\n<p>I am now providing them here so others could download and compile their own R2 D2 translations:<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<p><strong id=\"#R2D2-translations\">1.
