You might be able to proxy the dictionaries from your own server? Unless something in the t&c's of the dictionary providers prohibits you from doing that of course.

I thought about that but don't like the idea:

1. As you say, could be against t&c.

2. Tons of requests for the dictionary page coming from my server's IP address may lead to being blocked.

3. The user can edit the URL template to fetch any site they like, and I don't like the idea of my server fetching content from any arbitrary website.

4. Would add extra bandwidth and load on my server.
