Yes, I read the part about temporary caching data. My application needs to permanently store lots of translated data. The 5000 character limit is ok for my needs, but I need to make massive amounts of automated calls to the API. Hmm... I wonder if there is a version of the API that one pays a certain amount depending on how many calls are made, or a fixed price for unlimited use. That would work, unless it would be too expensive. I have already started developing the application and only checked the terms carefully today. :-(
