Concerning Google translation I see these problems:

  1. Response format changed a bit.
  2. Request format also changed (though older format is still supported()
  3. Google now forces https and returns HTTP redirect (code 301) for http requests. This is a major problem, since stardict implements its own http handling and have neither redirect, nor https support.

Issues 1 and 2 should be fixed by commit https://github.com/bircoph/stardict-3/commit/11152b606798adb60a0e6a6578754b6f5ca30d77, though I had not updated language listings there.

As for issue 3, I recommend to use any http(s) library of your choice instead of reinventing wheel, because https reimplementation from scratch will be PITA.
