Notes:
1) .opus audio format is ideal for human voices and the size is smaller than .mp3
Ready .DSL Dictionaries are available: (zips with sounds for them should be taken from the folder opus). Thanks to “Svirepov”.
PS. A member of Ru-Board (“Svirepov”) also published a Python script to automatically make .dsl files from the .zip files:

Automatic Translation:
A Python script that takes zip with sound files from Forvo and generates a DSL for it so that the archive is not unpacked, but immediately used as .dsl.files.zip under GoldenDict.
It works like this ( <dict_name> <index_language> <contents_language>):
The code:
forvo-zip2dsl.py nl.zip ‘Forvo Dutch’ Dutch Dutch >ForvoDutch.dsl
nl.zip rename to
ForvoDutch.dsl.files.zip
and put them next to the .dsl
Or - if you use .dsl.dz - to .dsl.dz.files.zip (desktop GD doesn’t care, mobile GD seems not to).
