leo contacts the dictionary server on dict.leo.org, fills in the
form field with the provided word or phrase and presses the submit
button. It analyzes the HTML result and extracts the relevant information.
dict.leo.org handles both German/English, English/German, German/French,
and French/German translations.
So does leo, you can specify German or English words/phrases on the command
line. With the -f option, it will translate between German/French and
French/German.
dict.leo.org handles spelling errors gracefully by presenting a list
of links to similar spelled words. leo handles this case by clicking
on the first link presented and returning this link's result.
