That being said, all API endpoints exposed by Jotoba are documented and allowed to be used (within a fair amount).

Jotoba is aimed to be a multi-language dictionary thus the website is aimed to be fully translated into all available languages.
However, the main developers of this project don't speak ~10 languages.
If you're interested in contributing to this project we are thankful for each translation contribution.
For a guide on how to add translations please refer to the wiki.
