How to add DHL shipping tracking for customers?

Question

I know in "shipping methods" there is a module for DHL but the knowledge-base says "DHL is available for international shipments, but is not used for local shipments". Also it tells me nothing about what the module does. Because of this I think this module is useless for me.

I want the user to view DHL shipping tracking. How can I do this?

Update

You can add a tracking number to an order. Looks like the DHL module will do what I need. Where do I get the account for this DHL API xmlpi-ea.dhl.com?

I installed the official DHL Magento module but it's config page returns a 404 error. Also there is a developer page where you can get an account.

I guess a simple solution is to edit the email template and add a tracking link:
