Summary
Linguee is a free dictionary and translation-search service, with an English-German dictionary and a search covering 1,000,000,000 translations. Dictionary entries show translations, alternatives, and example sentences that illustrate how words are used in different situations. Examples are attributed to external sources. Entries also include pronunciations recorded by professional speakers. The website is available alongside apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad; the apps use the same search interfaces, suggest translations as you type, and can correct search-term typos. The app offers dictionaries for English, French, German, Portuguese, and other languages, with searches in both directions for language pairs. Editorial dictionaries can be downloaded in the app for offline use. Private and business use is free. Linguee is developed and provided by DeepL SE in Cologne. DeepL says website connections are encrypted and that it does not assume liability for the accuracy of translations, so suggested equivalents may need checking.
