Whois & Analysis for linguee.com

Linguee is a web service that provides an online dictionary for a number of language pairs.

Unlike similar services, such as LEO, Linguee incorporates a search engine that provides access to large amounts of bilingual, translated sentence pairs, which come from the World Wide Web.

As a translation aid, Linguee therefore differs from machine translation services like Babelfish and is more similar in function to a translation memory.

French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the (Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders.

Today, owing to France's past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole.

A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as "Francophone" in both English and French.
