Free German English Translation

You can find many free options online for German English translation tools to help you understand websites, e-mails, phrases and news clips. These programs often involve machine translation, but some translation services rely on human volunteers in order to run the translation programs.

Free services are great for learning simple keywords and phrases. However, it's usually best to use paid translation services from a professional translator for important projects where the meaning must be exact.

YourDictionary offers several translation links in the Language section. The listed dictionaries offer the chance to translate words into English from German and vice versa. For example:

• The English-German Translation Dictionary allows you to browse already translated words and phrases alphabetically or by recent additions. Register and contribute your own translations or ask for help in the forums. A toolbar is available for installation if you want to use translation services while surfing the Internet.

• The German Language Schools link takes you to a long listing of German resources, including those on grammar, dialects, phrases, and sign language. Click on the "German Translation" link to find listings of various paid and free translators. The Free Translation Software link will take you to the free software section of Translation Town. Choose from several programs with freeware licenses to download to your computer.
