The latest version of EAGLE, version 5.10.0, includes a new interface called DesignLink and additional language support for Mandarin and Hungarian

DesignLink is a powerful interface that allows design engineers to access part pricing, availability, datasheets, images, and much more. The DesignLink user language program (ULP) allows online access to component attribute data, price, availability and datasheets without exiting EAGLE. ULPs can import data for customized attributes into EAGLE libraries, access and store the current price and availability of components for a schematic circuit, or update previously existing designs.

DesignLink registration is free of charge at http://www.element-14.com/DesignLink. When “run designlink” is entered from an open design file in EAGLE, a ULP will execute to demonstrate the new user language functions added to EAGLE. The ULP will also provide a link to DesignLink credentials for free registration.

In version 5.10.0, the Chinese version of the software will now automatically install mandarin versions of the manual as well as a tutorial where it is the default language. Additionally, Mandarin and Hungarian menus are available.

But I can give further information. Holliday until 11th of July

I only get this message when I try to search in designlink:

Error while accessing 'https://uk.farnell.com/pffind/services/SearchService':
299 Error downloading https://uk.farnell.com/pffind/services/SearchService - server replied: Internal Server Error

I hope this gets fixed

Not sure if you'd prefer a new topic for discussion - anyway, when I saw this, I had to give it a go.

The DesignLink is very cool indeed - very quick, and the search seems to pick out results (it found some components that were better than the ones I was about to order).

The only suggestion so far (and it's not after a huge amount of use, I have to admit), is if you could put a link to the web page for the item, rather than just the technical data sheet, then that would give you the ability to look for accessories as well.

I have found a component whose availability is negative (I'm guess that means the number that are on back-order - 1137385 if you're interested).

Anyway, well done!
