"Nifty Words Standard" is a very fast translator and dictionary for English and German words. It includes English phonetics but no sound (please look at "Nifty Words Pro" for that).

The new history and favorites feature lets you easily keep your peronal terms e.g. for learning.

Beside that, it does not have many functions and screens, but therefore it is simple, fast and comes with a huge word database.

===========
• no internet connection needed

Tip
====
To get the German Umlaute Ä,Ü,Ö,ä,ü,ö and ß, please touch the keys A,O,U and S on the keyboard a bit longer. That seems to be a not well known iPhone feature.
