There must be? Is that a law of nature or something? "I want it, so it 
must exist, QED."

You would need to check the licence terms and conditions for those 
services. It's not enough to have LGPL-licenced software to access 
Translator Toolkit, if Google put limits or prohibitions on access.

You will need to check the services in question to see if they publish an 
API for programmatically using their software.
