Can’t Find the Right Word in English?

Try this trick most people overlook.

Dictionaries are helpful, until they aren’t.

Sometimes the word you need just isn’t there. Or the translation feels too stiff. Too vague. Too… wrong.

Here’s a trick I often share with my clients:
👉 Use bilingual websites.

For example, the company Neuland has a full website in both German and English.

So if you want to translate words like:

• Bewertungspunkte
• Lochverstärker
• Pastellkreiden

You’ll find:

• Marking dots
• Reinforcement stickers
• Chalk pastels

Real words. Used in context. No guesswork.

This works especially well for tools, products and industry-specific terms.

So before you reinvent the wheel…
Check if someone else has already translated it for you. 😉
