Why participate?
Join other language lovers on bab.la and share your Dutch language expertise with the world. The way we use languages is constantly evolving, and therefore translations from Dutch to English are also changing. The Dutch-English dictionary is kept up to date thanks to contributions from users just like you, who add new Dutch-English translations. Since the same word can have several meanings in English the Dutch dictionary allows multiple translations entries. When a new English word is added to the dictionary it is marked as unverified. It will still show up in searches of the Dutch-English dictionary as a translation. When 10 users have reviewed the translation and marked it as correct the Dutch term will be permanently integrated in our Dutch-English database.
