en. langenscheidt. com is a portal of free online dictionaries from the publishing house Langenscheidt. The project brings together 25 language combinations, allowing users to translate texts and learn the nuances of foreign languages. The history of the brand goes back to the 19th century: founder Gustav Langenscheidt (1832-1895), while traveling around Europe, realized the importance of knowing languages for communication. Since then, the company has evolved from printed dictionaries to digital products.
Today the resource offers up-to-date vocabulary with examples of use, synonyms and transcription. The main goal of the project is to help not only understand the meaning of a word, but also learn to actively use it in speech, taking into account the context and style.
The site is aimed at three main groups of users: language students, professionals who need accurate translation, and enthusiasts. The database contains dictionaries for translation from German to English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
The content includes not only direct translations, but also:
The digital version of the dictionaries retains the content of printed publications, but adds a number of technical advantages. The key feature is regular content updates. Language is constantly changing: new words appear, old ones change their meaning, so the relevance of the data is critical here.
When searching for a word, the user receives an expanded entry structure:
Phonetic transcription. Written according to IPA standards in square brackets, which gives a first idea of the correct pronunciation. An audio version is available for listening.
Grammar and inflection. For nouns, the gender (M, F, N) or plural form (PL) is indicated. Verbs are marked as transitive, intransitive or reflexive. In angle brackets lt;gt; conjugation or declension forms are given (for example, genitive singular and nominative plural for German nouns).
Specialized litters.To select the correct translation from several options, the dictionary uses abbreviations of subject areas: ARCHIT (architecture), BIOL (biology), POL (politics), TECH (technology). Stylistic marks are also indicated: formal or colloquial style, literal or figurative meaning (fig).
Examples in context. The digital format allows you to post more sample sentences than in print. This helps you see how a word behaves in combination with other words to form new meanings.
In addition to online access, the publisher promotes its printed dictionaries and mobile applications for iOS and Android, which can be found in their online store. Printed versions remain relevant for traveling to regions without stable Internet.
The project belongs to PONS Langenscheidt GmbH. Official products and additional materials are available through the publisher's online store and app stores.
The site offers 25 dictionaries. The main interface and translation language is German, directions include English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
The online version contains the same content, but is updated regularly. It also provides audio pronunciations, more example sentences, interactive links to synonyms, and the ability to quickly unscramble subject area abbreviations with a click of the mouse or tap of the screen.
The entry for a word indicates the part of speech, gender (for nouns), type of verb (transitive-intransitive) and the main forms of conjugation or declension. This allows you to avoid mistakes when using the word in different cases and tenses.
Yes, the dictionary includes idiomatic expressions. For example, for the English word paint, the phrase to paint the town red is translated as die Stadt unsicher machen or auf die Pauke hauen, which helps to understand figurative meanings.
