Request to add DWDS as a dictionary for German

Hi!
I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add DWDS (Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache)(https://www.dwds.de/) as a dictionary for German. It’s a full german Dictonary, which is completely free (with no ads unlike Duden) and the way the content is presented is perfect for language learners. It was recommended by my german teacher and I have been using it eversince. I think it would be a great help to have it on LingQ!

Thanks for your suggestion. Added!

Yes, I couldn’t agree more!

P.S a very small thing. DWDS is a German-German dictionary. DWDS is now registered as a English resource.

I like it. Layed out better than Duden imo. Plus it seems to have more hits than Duden from my limited playing around.

Thanks, you are correct. Fixed!

One more thing, when I look up conjugated forms (geklettert, the original form of klettern) or the plural form of nouns, the meanings are often not directly shown. If this would be corrected, the function would be much better (it may be difficult, but as a future plan)
