About DeepL Translator
DeepL Translator is a neural machine translation tool that translates text across more than 30 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
It runs on the web, on desktop for macOS and Windows, and on mobile for iOS and Android, so translation is available across major platforms. On the paid Pro plan it adds an API and CAT tool integrations such as Trados and memoQ for professional translators.
It works for casual users on the free tier and for translation teams on Pro. Be aware of the limits: the free tier caps characters per translation and per document and leaves out glossaries and full document translation. There is also no self-hosted or open-source build, so all translation traffic is processed through DeepL's cloud.
Against Google Translate, DeepL covers fewer languages — 30+ versus Google's 100+ — but it is widely regarded as more accurate.
