dict.cc: English-German
and Multilingual Dictionary
The goal of dict.cc is to make it possible to share your vocabulary knowledge with the world. This is the main difference from other translation services - every user is encouraged to contribute to the English-German dictionary by adding and/or verifying translation suggestions. The resulting vocabulary database can be downloaded and used for free.Besides browsing the dictionary or searching for German-English translations you can also ask and answer questions related to the German or English language using the translation forum. To improve your language skills try the vocabulary trainer.
Disclaimer: The correctness of the translations cannot be guaranteed (nobody is perfect), but all input will be checked carefully. If you spot an error, please report it using the info button [i] located next to each translation within the search results.

2023-08-08: Simultaneous search in all languages
This functionality was requested many times over the years. I'm unsure about the practical purpose of this when doing translation work, but I think it's definitely interesting for studying similarities between different languages or listening to how a given term sounds in different languages. Or maybe you heard or read a word and you're not even sure which language it was in. Just enter it and see what languages come up.
The search results are grouped by language families and the languages within the families are sorted by the amount of speakers. It's also possible to select only a few languages for comparison.

2023-04-24: New feature: Text samples (experimental)
Sometimes it can be helpful to see a word or short phrase embedded in a full sentence to better understand its meaning or application in practice. So now I'm using a corpus of text from Wikipedia to show such example sentences. They are located below the translations block. Wikipedia has the advantage of being available for all dict.cc languages, but the disadvantage is that some example sentences are relatively complex. For the time being I have added the function to m.dict.cc only and maybe I will have to remove it again in case of problems. Any feedback is welcome, as always.

2023-01-19: New feature for contributors (Beta): Find missing entries from corresponding language pair!
Basically it's a list of entries from DE-XX not yet in EN-XX (or the other way round) that can be used to create new translation pairs using auto-matched suggestions via DE-EN. Many new dictionary entries with correct formatting/tagging can be added just by picking correct auto-created pairs.
This feature may still contain some useless entries or near duplicates for technical reasons, I hope to further improve that later. But in the meantime it's already really useful if you just pick the easy cases. Please still check the auto-generated suggestions for near duplicates and possible errors and pick only those with 100% matching meanings.
To try it, click "Missing" in the menu bar in the "Contribute!" section of any language pair except German-English.
Thanks to dict.cc contributor Puchenau for suggesting this (and sorry for changing it a little for technical reasons)!
