5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is there no way to translate from German to English?

Yes, there is a way. Select 'Search' in the upper right of the screen and you will get to the search screen of the application. On this screen, you can enter English or German words. The application will show you any translation that contains this word, no matter if the word was english or german. However, on the display you will always find the english expression on the left and the german translation on the right.

How is the matching entry connected to the string that I entered?

The application looks for words that have the entered string as their beginning. Words that contain the string within themselves will not be considered matching. This means that if you are looking for 'rust', you will not find 'trust'.

I want to enter my own vocabulary

At the moment, you can't do that with Eng-Ger. If you have vocabulary that you think is missing, please send me an email and i will have a look at it.

Are there any plans to add german articles to the dictionary?

The database started without german articles about five years ago. I am in the process of adding the articles step by step. But i can't say how long this will take to be finished.
