SYSTRANLinks

SYSTRANLinks is for website translation (although the API can send RDF, HTML or Plain text data): http://www.systranlinks.com/

To register for an account (free trial available): http://wwwv5.systransoft.com/support/SL/UserGuide/t1.html#newwebsite

This service has an API and you can send HTML, plain or RTF text. The API is quite simple: http://wwwv5.systransoft.com/support/SL/UserGuide/api.html

Initial reading shows its over HTTP/HTTPS so we could use our REST and caching infrastructure. The data returned is in XML with CDATA sections.
