Translate English into German with the free AdeptWrite AI translator, already set to this pair. German puts the verb in fixed positions, capitalizes every noun, gives nouns a gender and case, and joins words into long compounds. A good translation rebuilds the sentence around those rules and chooses between Sie and du. Paste your text, pick a tone and check names, figures and specialist terms in the result.
Tips for this language pair
- Choose Sie or du. Use Sie with customers, colleagues you do not know and in business email, and du with friends, family and in many start-ups. Pick the Formal tone for Sie and check the pronouns in the result.
- Expect the verb at the end of subordinate clauses and in second position in main clauses: "ich rufe an, wenn ich ankomme" puts the second verb last.
- Watch false friends: Gift means poison, bekommen means to get (werden is to become), Chef means boss and Handy is a mobile phone.
- Write dates and numbers the German way: 3. November 2026, 1.250,50 and a space before units and the euro sign.
Example translations
| Original · English | Translation · German | Why it is translated this way |
|---|---|---|
| Could you send me the invoice, please? | Könnten Sie mir bitte die Rechnung schicken? | Sie is formal, and the infinitive schicken goes to the end of the clause. |
| I will call you when I arrive. | Ich rufe Sie an, wenn ich ankomme. | German uses the present for the near future. Anrufen is separable, so "an" moves to the end, and wenn sends the verb to the end of its clause. |
| He became a doctor. | Er wurde Arzt. | Werden is to become. Bekommen would mean "he received a doctor". German also leaves out the article with professions. |
| The meeting is on 3 November 2026. | Das Treffen findet am 3. November 2026 statt. | The ordinal gets a period, and stattfinden is separable, so "statt" ends the sentence. |
