Is there any Chinese-English (or vice versa) dictionary API?
Sadly Google shut down t开发者_Go百科he Google Dictionary. Is there any Chinese-English dictionary web app which provides an API for developers? I don't need whole text translation or examples. Just simple word-to-word dictionary.
Or is there a Creative Commons C-E dictionary file that could be downloaded?
There's the free dictionary called CEDICT, which is CC-BY-SA 3.0
You can use Unihan database. It has online search that you can use with parameter
Example: http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=国 will return you a web-page with translation and different pronunciations.
kDefinition - nation, country, nation-state
kMandarin - GUO2
Also the database Unihan.zip can be downloaded from here.
By the way Google Translate API now available as a paid service
