These things exist. There are two web services available, there's an API - it has nothing to do with us, really, so we have very little idea of how much use it sees, but there have been complaints when it was unavailable, so _someone_ must be using it. Xavi mentioned in a thread of his own that there are apps available using that API, so if that's what you want, I suggest you start there. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
