Linguee is a free online 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 usage in different situations; examples are attributed to external sources. Entries also include pronunciations recorded by professional speakers. The service is available on the web and through apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Its apps use the same search interfaces as the web service, suggest translations as users 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 for offline use. Private and business use is free of charge. Linguee is developed and provided by DeepL SE in Cologne, Germany. DeepL says it does not assume liability for translation accuracy, so suggested equivalents may need checking against the context in which they will be used.
