User Reviews for Dictionary Linguee

My favorite multi-lingual dictionary

Linguee is a must-have reference app for language learners! It is so easy to use my mom could do it. It offers many languages and it’s easy to switch between them; it even suggests a language if you have the wrong one selected. The example sentences are simple enough to help me understand the connotation of whichever word I’m looking up, and they introduce other new words. Often I can figure out those new words from the context. I love that it automatically looks up whatever is in my clipboard (eg from another app), especially while multitasking with Linguee beside a foreign language text on my iPad. The only thing I would add is verb conjugation. It’s still the best even without that! ¡Muchas gracias!

Context matters

I’d been depending on Google Translate, which is quite useful — until it isn’t. Google generally tells you what a translation is, and leaves it to you to reverse translate it to make sure it’s what you meant (and even then, there’s no guarantee).Consider the word still.Maybe you mean “I still want this.” Maybe you mean “This lake is so still at 8am.” Or maybe you make whiskey in a still. In Portuguese, at least, these are different words. When Google translates for you, do you *really* know which one it’s suggesting that you say? The wrong word will mean your reader will have ZERO idea what you mean, like: “I elephant want this.”Linguee tells you the part of speech for each word, gives many examples with the word uses in context, and helps you understand different ways the word can be used. I’ve found it helpful to clarify and to expand my vocabulary. I still use Google Translate often — it’s great for certain things — but when I really need to be sure of something, I use Linguee.

Privacy concerns with app

First of all I love the service and the function it provides. However, the app refuses to do anything without local network access, and Linguee is very dodgy about revealing what it is needed for. They claim it is to access an “integrated network server,” which from what I can tell is basically nonsense jargon to confuse people into clicking ‘yes.’ When questioned in an email they responded that they “cannot disclose any further technical details about our app,” which seemed like a very strongly worded non-answer if it really was something simple and benign.They won’t even let you use your offline dictionaries. You either grant them unfettered access to your local network and connected devices or you don’t use the service. I’d love an explanation of what could be so important and why they must be so secretive about it.

Almost good but fatally flawed

I’ve been using this dictionary a lot over the last few months. It has a lot of great features. For instance, it will show you idiomatic phrases related to the word you’re looking up. This is really handy. It also will show you examples of the word in action, culled from the web.It is however, unstable and more dependent on Internet access then it claims to be, even if you’ve downloaded an offline dictionary. Periodically after a dozen or so look ups the application starts to get very slow. Often I will type of word and nothing happens for 10 to 15 seconds. Over time this gets worse until finally the only recourse is to force quit the application and restart it.This morning I reached the final straw. I fired up the app and noticed that it said I didn’t have an Internet connection, which I totally did. Looking upwards now simply spawns a spinning wheel and never any definitions. So I guess I’m done with it. It’s too frustrating.

Perfect tool for any skill level

I am a native English speaker who speaks Spanish well, but not often. For the speaker whose grammar is good, but who needs an active vocabulary of the words you commonly use in English, Linguee is the perfect tool. It’s a very comprehensive translation engine for anyone seeking the context and subtlety that matches the way you normally speak English, without having to flounder around in a static vocabulary dictionary. The beauty is that there are scores of snippets of published speech, so you can easily and quickly choose the translation that most closely matches the closes sense of meaning you intend. I have searched quite a bit, and have yet to find a better product for learning, and for keeping my vocabulary growing. It really works well. -ScottPortland, OR.

Good dictionary, fast searching

I am really enjoying the Linguee dictionary so far, and my review focuses on the Portuguese/English portion. The app is very good for finding words quickly—suggestions pop up as you’re typing, and the suggestions even include similarly spelled words. This is particularly useful when you’re not entirely sure how a word is spelled. The translations so far are very good. I really like the examples given below the definitions—seeing words used in the context of a sentence helps cement it in the brain better. However, the dictionary could really use a “favorites” or “flash card” option to review words and phrases. While there is a history of recently searched words, an option to save particular words/phrases would jump this app up to a five star review.

Great service, frustrating app bugs

I use Linguee dozens of not hundreds of times a day learning German. I am a huge fan! However it also means if I’m running into the same issues all the time, the app freezing, being unable to type / search when returning to the app, it gets really beyond frustrating. I feel like I’m at a point where I don’t want to use another app for my go to mobile dictionary, but I may need to. I think the issue may lie with suspending the app while searching, and it not handling this event properly. Without this one bug of being able to quickly search a term without clicking on a search result causing the app to freeze or sometimes crash, it’s effectively everything I want in a multi-lingual dictionary. Please fix this y’all ;_;

Innovative app in language translation

I love that feature where you select and copy a word and switch (or in iPad, multitask) to this app and the appears. Of course it also so helpful to be able to compare multiple translations already done by others. The different approaches taken with similar texts allows you to choose the way you want to go in terms of learning phrases or doing translation yourself. Fantastic! It would be helpful if there were a way to easily choose between the set of translations and the dictionary portion—an ability to switch back and forth.

The only dictionary app I use (for German)

This app is amazing. It is very clean looking, easy to use, and available for offline use. My favorite part is the online feature which shows you the use of words in context from the internet. This helps me see how words are used in idioms and phrases, which case certain words take, and reminds me of the grammar rules I’ve forgotten since I last took a language class. My only complaint is that there is no Turkish. I would love a German-Turkish or Turkish-English dictionary on here, especially since I’ve been unable to find any truly trustworthy Turkish dictionary apps. Thanks so much for an amazing product, and hope you add more languages in the future!

Best Translation App to Date

I’m primarily using this for French, and I have to write a review to say that this has by far been the best app I’ve downloaded for translations. They have just about every translation for every possible meaning of a word, and if that wasn’t enough the examples they give you at the bottom are native speakers using that word in context. It has everything you could need and more when it comes to precise translations. The only gripe I have with this app is how much it freezes and crashes. Searching up a word can take up to 5 whole seconds to process. The web version is much smoother, and if you can, I would recommend using that over the app at the moment. However, if you need translations offline, this is still a great translater app and site in general.
