My comment:

ATTENTION: The word "Beitrag" is in german. if you mean in englisch you can say: contributions, articles,fees, dues, premium. I think that the right word is "contributions" = in german " Beitraege"

I agree, the singular is "Beitrag", the plural spelling is "Beitraege" (or with an "a Umlaut" in place of the "ae" when you can type/insert German characters) and Isabella has given you a good many possible translations, depending on your context. You often see this term in the titles of scientific journals.

from the German – contributions

My comment:

As Colin Smith said this is a German word and hard to know why it is being used without more context. I would suggest a meaning for is as "contributions' or "contributory factors" maybe in the context of cutlures contributing to the mutliple strands of cutlure?
