About this tool

DeepL is a German machine translation service known for producing notably natural-sounding output, especially across European languages. Its proprietary neural networks are trained on Linguee's bilingual corpus and now cover more than thirty languages, including formal and informal variants for many of them. The product is offered as a web app, desktop apps, mobile apps, browser extensions and an API, with features for whole-document translation that preserves formatting in Word, PowerPoint and PDF files, plus a glossary system for enforcing consistent terminology. DeepL Pro adds unlimited document translation, stronger data privacy guarantees with no storage of customer text, and team management. The company has expanded into AI writing with DeepL Write, speech translation, and enterprise integrations for tools like Microsoft Word, Outlook and Google Workspace.
