What it actually is

Nearly 40,000 volunteer contributors have made this the go-to German-English dictionary for exactly the phrases Google Translate mangles — compounds, idioms, technical terms, Austrian and Swiss variants. Every entry shows gender, plural and usage tags, and there's an offline mobile app. Free; the crowdsourced nature occasionally shows in odd or unverified entries, so cross-check anything surprising.
