English German Dictionary
Offline English–German dictionary that handles compound words and noun gender
Offline English–German dictionary built for long compound words too
English German Dictionary translates between English and German instantly and offline. German is well known for building long compound nouns from smaller words, and for assigning grammatical gender (der, die, das) to every noun — both of which a shallow dictionary tends to handle poorly. This app is built to give clear, complete entries rather than a bare one-word guess, useful for students, travellers and everyday translation.
