Could someone pronounce this name for me, please. I am translating a book from English to Greek, but I have come across this name and I don't know how to pronounce it. To view it go VIEW, ENCODING, WESTERN EUROPEAN (ISO)
Would you be kind enough to help me?
Thank you

In this case,
o goes like oo (Eur. u)
a goes like ah (Eur. a)
ø goes like er,ir (Ger. ö, Fr. eu)
e is a weak vowel, like -er in sister
All consonants as in English (well, the r is more like the Greek one)
May I suggest Oulab A Oibrempoi (wild guess) as the Greek version.
