Rusty - Octavio is correct.  This audio file should say "milmillonésimo" for billionth since more than likely the context has to do with successive numbers and it right now says "billonésimo" which means a trillionth in Spanish.  Yikes!

Just double checked with my authority on the Spanish language (my wife) who is a trained translator :)

Can't speak to the French translation.

> Spanish translation for digits/h-billion is wrong, in Spanish, a billion is equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000) like old Brithish English. 
> To make sure we are talking about the same, here is a strip of the code:
> main/say.c
> ..
>      } else if (num < INT_MAX) {
>        int billions = num / 1000000000;
>        num = num % 1000000000;
> ...
> We are talking of a thousand million, which in spanish is:
> "Milmillonésimo" (thousand = mil, millonésimo = million).
> From the Royal Academy of Language dictionary:
> http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=milmillon%C3%A9simo
> milmillonésimo, ma.
> 1. adj. Se dice de cada una de las 1000 millones de partes iguales en que se divide un todo. U. t. c. s.
> Translation:
> 1. adj. It is said of each of the 1,000 million equal parts into which a whole is divided
> http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=billion
> billonésimo, ma.
> (De billón).
> 2. adj. Mat. Que ocupa en una serie el lugar al cual preceden otros 999 999 999 999 lugares.
> Translation:
> 2. adj. Math. Place that occupy in a serie which precede other 999 999 999 999 places
> That means in English a Trillion, so in resume a "Billón" in spanish is a Trillion in english and "Milmillonésimo" means a billionth.
> Can't tell if this is the same for French, they use the word "milliard" for billion because probalby billion in french means the same as in Spanish (trillion) but I'm not sure.
