Online Collins (Google) dictionary

Hi Konstantin, folks.

I've been using this online Google dictionary (which is actually based on the latest Collins dictionary + extra stuff from the web):

Name: Google En-En (Collins)
URL: http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=en|en&q=%GDWORD%&hl=en

Maybe it makes sense to add it by default to GoldenDict. The dictionary is great (provides clear explanations, phrases, examples, etc), the layout in GoldenDict is very good, the site is fast.

And if somebody could figure out how to play pronunciations from that dictionary, that would just totally awesome! :)

Currently, when I click on the sound icon in any card from that dictionary, GoldenDict just goes to empty page.

Konstantin, is there anything that can be done here so that clicking on the speaker icon would produce a sound?

What can I say... THANKS!!! :) Google's dictionary becomes even more useful now, with all the pronunciations, and the speed is pretty close to local dictionaries.
