Hello,

I am the founder of the Worldwide Lexicon project (www.worldwidelexicon.org). WWL is an open source, collaborative translation system (think Wikipedia for translation). It combines machine translation, volunteers and professional translators to create translatable websites. WWL is a translation memory, and is accessed via a straightforward web API (see wwlapi.appspot.com for a preview of our version 2 web API and documentation). We will be publishing the next release of the system in June, in advance of the Open Translation Tools conference in Amsterdam.

One of the components in WWL is a machine translation proxy service that front-ends a number of MT engines, and presents a common interface for all of them. I'd like to add Moses to the list of services WWL can talk to, and was curious if someone has implemented a RESTful interface to Moses (e.g. we send a CGI query like www.foo.com/translate?sl=en&tl=ru&st=Hello+World, and it replies with a plain text response or an empty string, something simple like that). I am also looking for people who are interested in hosting Moses for various language pairs.

Thanks for your time. If you would like to learn more about WWL, visit us on the web. We'll be posting more news about the June open source release in the next week or so.
