Why participate?

By joining bab.la you can help us make the French-English dictionary even better and reach our goal of being the largest online dictionary in the world. Users just like you are the reason our dictionaries keep growing and stay up to date. New French words and ways of translating French to English are developing all the time. By adding these expressions or other colloquial and regional French terms you make the dictionary more useful for everyone. A French-English translation can be very different depending on what context the word is used in. This is why we include several different translations for the same French word in the dictionary. As users add words to the French-English dictionary other users need to verify a translation before it is permanently put in the dictionary. Until then it shows up in results, but is marked as unverified.
To take part in all the fun register with us today and start collecting points for the world ranking. For example you are awarded points when you add new French phrases or words to the French-English dictionary. Should you be unsure if a translation is correct, you can always ask other users for help. In the French-English forum bab.la users answer questions and discuss issues on French language, translation and grammar.
