Why participate?
Start having fun and be a part of the bab.la community. Helping us makes the English to French dictionary even better. Every single user who contributes new French translations helps us improve the quality and usefulness of our dictionaries. Adding new English to French translations is not the only way to help out though. All words added by users need to be confirmed and checked for mistakes. A new word will only be included as a valid French translation once it has been voted as correct by 10 other users. The reason for there being so many English-French translations for the same English word is that a word's meaning, and therefore translation, can vary greatly from one field to another. A technical translation from English to French could be very different from a medical translation.
