German to English translator that untangles long sentences

German saves its verb for the end and glues nouns into one word — record it or paste it and read the English in order. Answer in English and it goes back in German, in the same thread.

Long sentences, read in order

The verb at the end and three clauses in between stop being a problem once it's English.

  • Spoken German into English text

    Record the sentence and read what it actually asked for

  • Compound nouns split out

    Aufenthaltserlaubnis or Krankenversicherungskarte come back as something you can act on

Answer in the same thread

Reply in English and the German goes out, ready to be played aloud.

  • Both directions in one place

    German in, English out, and back again without restarting

  • Saved for the next round

    Each conversation stays as a topic you can reopen when the reply arrives

Sie or du, kept as intended

German officialese is formal by default, and the tone matters as much as the words.

  • Formal register preserved

    A Sie sentence stays polite in English instead of turning into something curt

  • Umlauts and ß

    Paste ä, ö, ü or ß straight from the letter and nothing breaks

Paste the Behörde letter

Rental contracts, insurance mail, forms from the Amt — paste them and read the English.

  • A full page at once

    Not just a headline: paste the paragraph that actually matters

  • Copy the English

    Move the result into your notes or an answer in one tap

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about translating German into English.

Does it cope with very long German sentences?

Yes. The whole sentence is translated at once, so a verb sitting at the very end still lands in the right place in the English.

What about compound nouns?

Compounds are translated as the concept they describe rather than split into fragments, which is where word-by-word tools usually fall apart.

Can it understand Austrian or Swiss German?

Standard German from Austria and Switzerland is handled; strong regional dialect is harder, and speaking a little more clearly helps the transcript.

Can I paste a letter from an office or landlord?

Yes — switch to the keyboard and paste the whole thing, including umlauts and ß, then read the English underneath.

Can I reply in English and have it go out in German?

Yes. The conversation runs in both directions, and the German version can be played aloud for the other person.

Is it free?

There is a free allowance available immediately without an account, and signing in with Google raises the monthly quota and keeps your history.
