For using translate5 via API the authentication against the API must be done via an app token (starting with version 5.8.2 / 5.8.3).
Authentication via username / password will not be possible anymore (for security reasons).
Currently the maintenance (add / delete / list) of tokens is only doable via translate5 CLI tool. See below.
The maintenance of tokens per user in the UI is planned, but funding is required.
