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.

2024-11-06: 22 years of dict.cc!
This year the focus is on creating the first new vocabulary since 2010. This language pair, Ukrainian-German, has already made it to over 23,000 entries thanks to the great support of tbunyk, johnb, FMRL and 94 other contributors. I hope we can hit the 30k mark in the foreseeable future. I'm also planning to release Ukrainian-English for general development soon.
Here are the statistics for 2024:
1,287,547 German-English translations, 2,364,862 translations in other language pairs
1,512,125 audio recordings, 1,431,923 inflection entries and 415,144 illustrating images
308,938 registered users, 38,419 of them contributors
On a different note, there is some maintenance work planned in the data center for the next few weeks. This may lead to short partial service interruptions, but most users shouldn't notice anything.
