What's this?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.

2022-06-09: The "audio like" feature is now also available in the apps.
2022-06-03: 2 million translations in the "new" language pairs (3.24 million total)!
2022-01-28: Introducing a new feature for the mobile (responsive) website: Audio Likes
Clicking an audio button on a search results page plays a randomly selected audio recording. Additionally a pop-up window appears, enabling users to play specific recordings, for example a region-specific computer voice or a particular user recording.
Nothing new so far, but quite often I get requests like "I want to hear British (American, ...) English only", "I don't like the voice of user X", "I really like the voice of user Y, can the website use it all time?" and so on. So I came up with the idea of adding like/dislike buttons next to each name in the audio pop-up.
Likes/dislikes are personal settings stored in a cookie, they don't influence the dict.cc experience for other users. If the personal settings contain likes for certain voices, the random audio player will pick one of those. If there are dislikes, the algorithm will exclude them. Any combination of likes and dislikes is possible.
The like/dislike functionality is currently only available at m.dict.cc.

This year I reprogrammed the mobile website from scratch and added enough of the main end user functionality to be able to redirect smartphone users to the mobile version. Doing that has positive effects on search engine ratings, as search engines attach more and more importance to good usability on phones. That's why usage numbers started to rise again when I added this redirect.
Here are the annual statistic numbers:
1,232,549 German-English translations, 1,912,435 translations in other language pairs
1,361,666 audio recordings, 1,328,902 inflection entries and 373,183 illustrating images
283,063 registered users, 36,530 of them contributors
Thanks for all your contributions!
