DeutschDB: German dictionary with YouTube native pronunciation
⚓ Rust 📅 2026-04-12 👤 surdeus 👁️ 6Hi all! I would like to ask for a review of my German dictionary client-server project. I was not satisfied with the features offered by existing resources:
-
Lack of translations for both words and their examples with German prepositions.
-
Absence of compound words in databases, which are very common in German.
-
Other sites use AI-generated audio pronunciation. I chose to show YouTube videos with timestamp with native speakers instead.
-
And some other reasons.
The server can be deployed locally, and the interface is accessible via browser. It can be used from a mobile phone, though it is not yet fully adapted for it.
Currently, only Ukrainian translations are available. I faced difficulties with a small number of correctly translated words. This issue was solved by using the Gemini API to generate translations with usage examples. ![]()
Full README with the web interface and usage examples:
Thanks. Have a nice day. ![]()
