Linguee
Linguee is a free dictionary and translation-search service available on the web, Android, iPhone, and iPad. Its English-German dictionary and search cover 1,000,000,000 translations. Entries present translations, alternatives, usage examples from external sources, and pronunciations recorded by professional speakers. The apps suggest translations as you type and can correct search-term typos. Editorial dictionaries can be downloaded for offline use. App dictionaries include English, French, German, Portuguese, and other languages, with searches in both directions for language pairs. Private and business use is free. Linguee is developed and provided by DeepL SE in Cologne, Germany. The service says connections are encrypted and personal data is handled under rules including the GDPR and German Federal Data Protection Act. It lists technical collection such as browser and operating-system details, search terms, and IP addresses, with full IP addresses retained up to 14 days. DeepL says it does not assume liability for translation accuracy.
