2009-11-06: 7th BIRTHDAY: RELEASE OF THE NEW DICTIONARIES!

dict.cc is seven years old today and finally, finally, finally, it's done: The dictionary has now officially been extended to other languages (public beta). 41 language pairs already exist and new ones can be added easily (there's a wish list for new languages).

At this point I'd like to say a deep-felt thank-you to all of the participants who have been working on building up basic vocabularies for the past months. You've been fantastic - thank you very, very much!

The home page of dict.cc now displays a box to the right of the page, enabling you to choose another language pair. Only vocabularies with a verification rate of 75% or more are displayed. You can help to bring up other languages there by following the review link here. To vote for correct entries it's sufficient to submit the review form unchanged - otherwise correct the fields directly and submit. Every entry has to be checked by several participants, so the system can tolerate an occasional error. Give it a try or just have a look at it!

Some statistical information for the records once again: Currently 11 servers are busy answering all the dictionary requests. There are 733,802 German-English translation pairs and 144,075 translation pairs in all new languages together. 177,208 audio recordings have already been submitted by the community. There are 68,976 registered users, 9,771 of them have already contributed to dict.cc (vocabulary, voice recordings, forum).

2009-11-03: Inflections feature extended: Inflections can be added within the form for new translations; Serial input possible via Contribute/Inflections; Comment feature

2009-11-01: October was the first month to exceed 100 million monthly page views!
