A couple of additional considerations:

We need the pronunciation guide in all languages (Not just English).
(Both sites are translated into several languages, and each of them should have this guide.) 

Is IPA limited to only Latin-based languages? 
What phonetic methods are used in non-Latin scripts (e.g. Cyrillic, Hindi)?
