Last but not least, I’d like to mention linguee which is a bit different because strictly speaking it’s not a dictionary but a search-engine for translations. Vocabulary Trainer (also available as app) actual real-world examples how the word or phrase is used on websites. One feature that I really like is that it shows “Usage Examples”, i.e. Just like their paper publications, the Pons online dictionary features a very clean layout and solid translations. This online dictionary is provided by Pons, a renowned German publisher of dictionaries that was established in 1978.

Recently, Leo also started providing for-pay (free-trial available) language learning courses, which may be helpful for beginners.įirst of all, bab.la has a really clean and neat design, and in terms of presentation is probably one of my favorites. Another nice feature is that it shows you orthographically similar words on results pages.
Leo has a very active community and the forum is always worth a visit when you’re stuck finding a translation.
In my experience, Leo may not always display as many results as but one cool feature is that the results include forum entries that discuss the queried word which sometimes helps to clear up certain nuances. In terms of features and quality this one is very similar to, so it may just be a matter of preference – some of my German teaching colleagues swear by Leo, some by.

It doesn’t have tons of bells and whistles, the design may be somewhat outdated, but its real strength is in the results, which include many idiomatic phrases and terminology from a variety of fields. This is by far one of my favorite German-English dictionaries online. But since there are still key differences in terms of layout, results and other features, I’d like to share a quick overview of my favorite German-English dictionaries in this post. Most online dictionaries today are high quality and will translate most words and even phrases without a hitch.
