It makes sense to integrate external terminology resources via API into the InstantTranslate Portal.

The following resources are possible/currently looked at. At the moment there is no known solution, that simply can be integrated without clarifying the legal and/or technical conditions. Therefore these solutions are not part of the concept, but kept aside as ideas to be discussed.

Leo

It is possible to send a query from translate5 to Leo, open Leo in a new window and show the result as an original Leo result page without any translate5 context.

Any other possibility to include Leo in translate5 is forbidden by Leo, but could be made possible, if one discusses the subject with them. Below you find, what Leo writes about this on their page:

Leo-page: Copyright

All rights arising in conjunction with the software developed for the purposes of this online service, as well as the databases on which it relies, and all other content belong to LEO GmbH unless another author or proprietor is explicitly named. Any exploitation of the software, the data or any other content except in the form in which it is offered and provided at leo.org is prohibited. In particular, the automatic retrieval of any kind of content via script or in any other manner is forbidden.

Development of toolbars/plug-ins/applets and the like

The development of toolbars/plug-ins/applets and the like (collectively referred to hereinafter as "tools") for internet browsers that are designed to provide direct access to the contents of LEO is permitted only with the prior consent of LEO. Only tools that have been developed with the approval of LEO may be incorporated into internet browsers to provide access to LEO's services.

Tools can only be approved if they carry LEO's name and present the resulting page in exactly the same form as the page for entering a search word that appears on our website dict.leo.org. Approval cannot be granted if advertising displayed on LEO is circumvented by "optimised solutions" that obscure/remove the advertising content.

Integrating of a search box in other web sites

LEO consents to the integration of a search box for queries to LEO dictionaries in another web site, on condition that:

• LEO is named in the search box and it is clearly recognisable that the search box initiates a search in LEO dictionaries,
• the page presenting the results of a search inquiry is displayed unchanged (possibly in a browser window of its own, but not in a frame of the website providing the link) and, in particular, the advertising shall not be obscured.

 Wordfinder

wordfinder.com offers a high number of dictionaries online and as apps for payment.

I got to know the owner at last LocWorld and it should be possible to integrate it via API and talk about the conditions with them.

Because of the high number of resources they offer, this could make most sense, if we want to include a paid dictionary resource.
