Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
dict.cc provides a German-English dictionary and multilingual dictionary with community-contributed translations, offering a free downloadable vocabulary database, a translation forum, and a vocabulary trainer.
Target Customer
Language learners, translators, students, and general users seeking German-English (and other language pair) translations; individuals who want to contribute or verify translations and build vocabulary datasets.
Key Differentiator
Community-driven vocabulary database with user-contributed and verified translations, plus a free downloadable dataset and participation metrics (e.g., Hall of Fame, activity scores) to reward contributor involvement.
Implementation Timeline
Users can start using the dictionary immediately for translations; contributions (adding/verifying translations) require logging in and may be subject to verification timelines (e.g., verifications and pending entries). The site notes that some input is restricted (e.g., Limited Input Mode with verification requirements). Value is realized quickly through search and community-driven updates, with ongoing value as translations are added and verified over time.
