But since yesterday afternoon I can't access it anymore. When I go to above URL, I get redirected to a page with the following message:

We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.
The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available.

I tried searching Google for Microsoft Language Portal, then accessing that way also. But I still get this same message saying the page can't be found.

Can someone else try and see if you also get redirected to this page?

I also contacted support yesterday Feb 17, 2016

I contacted support via direct chat yesterday, but they had to redirect me to make a posting at their forum.

Paulinho, I can get to that main page, but as soon as I search a word I get redirected to this other page with this message.

Offfline searching often is faster or more comfortable Feb 17, 2016

Download from the MS site the complete dictionary in your language combination. It's a .tbx file.

Then use Multifultor (see my profile), the latest version of it is able to search .tbx files directly. It features powerful wildcard functions, e. g. *abc??def* finds ABabcXYdefGHJK.

The site is up now Feb 17, 2016

I just checked, the site is up now. Must have been a temporary server issue.

At least since yesterday, the Microsoft Language Portal is once again unreachable.

And it's gone again Oct 9, 2019

Since yesterday the search fields are gone all of a sudden. Clicking on "Search Terminology", but nothing happens. Any info on this?
