Does this API include the Bing Dictionary (English-Chinese)

[Leo Lin]

Thanks for providing this excellent Java library, it made the process
of translating easier. Also, I want to thank Microsoft for not
charging its tools. I am a student, and I am making programs to use
for my own coding and learning experience. I was looking at Google's
translate API, but it wasn't free, furthermore, I don't need to query
20,000 times a day.

So my question is, does the API include the functionality of Bing
Dictionary (English-Chinese)? I found it at http://www.microsofttranslator.com/tools/
. Because I want to define my words in both English and Chinese. If
so, how do I use the API to gain access to the English to Chinese
dictionary.

Thanks.

Ignore my previous responses... wrong API.

Hi Leo -

The Microsoft Translator API does not appear to expose any dictionary-related services at this time. If in the future they decide to do so, it would make sense to wrap those services also with the Java API.
