Google Dictionary API not working--is there another solution? [closed]

Question

I have been using the Google Dictionary API and accessing it with this url:

http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=a&q='test'&sl=en&tl=en&restrict=pr,de&client=te

However, now this url throws an error.

Then, I found this site: http://google-dictionary.so8848.com/meaning?word=test and this works fine. Digging around their site I found the same url as mine in their code. Yet, when copied and pasted into a browser also throws an error.

So, I believe somehow this site is still able to access this Google dictionary API though I don't know what url to try and/or if anyone has a suggestion for a different Dictionary API.

This service is no longer free, it is still the same API, but you have to pay to let you use it in your site or application. better to use an alternative solution like
