I just found http://autshumato.sourceforge.net/TMS.html Are you related with this app? >> Right now this tool is functional.

If Pootle wants to integrate with external sources of Terminology, an interface to access external terminology is the first step. In my app I added a way to generate TBX files for a given target language (being english the source language) on the fly just visiting some specific URLs (or in another words using REST), so it should not be hard to integrate with Virtaal's AutoTerm (http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/autoterm). I have not tried it yet, since I don't know where to change the URLs that Virtaal uses to get the terminology. On the other hand, the terminology query for a given word in a given language is not already implemented, but it is planned. I stopped it because I have doubts about which was the better format to transfer the results: JSON or TBX. My idea was to start developing this app, and eventually get it into the Translate Toolkit ecosystem, so a good integration with the other apps is desirable in order to achieve this. > Hello Leandro. > > Just a small remark - there are at least two Terminators yet in software > (both are TERMINal emulATORs). > > 1.

I tried at least a dozen of names, but all of them were already used. I became tired and just chose one of them without thinking a lot on it. The current name was chosen due to the terminator robot, and the sunlight terminator (the line between day and night), to take its background ideas of erase in one time for all the terminology management chaos and the dawn of the new era of order in the terminology front for we, the poor translators :) Sorry for my english. By the way, there at least another two or three terminology apps that have the same name. Any name suggestion?
