DeepL Reviews 689

Although I acknowledge the importance of a review from an already user of deepl translator, yet I must be honest to the New users of deepl services. First of all, the deepl translator is not just a simple, ordinary translator, it's more than that, it's a complete AI service translation tool. I recommend it to those who have serious jobs that must communicate to a broader group of people. The minus in this review is that the service is paid, with a limited permission in using it for few paragraphs per day. Remember that deepl started from 5000 characters, then 2500, 1500, and now is limited to just a 1500 for very few pasted texts. I highly recommend it to professionals and those who have serious reasons for translation services. It's a tool, it's not just a translator text. There is still free space for competitors of course.

Prompt and accurate. I like it.

I have been using DeepL for approximately two years. With both literary and non-literary texts. There are problems with literary texts, e.g. Czech writer Karel Čapek. Practically, no phrase may remain as such, the text must be refined. Nevertheless, it reduces the time of translating by approximately 15–20%, which is not bad.
The application works considerably better with non-fiction. I have tested mainly with texts using terminology specific to history, archaeology and linguistics. The results seem good, even excellent. For example, a 10-page study in linguistics has been translated very fast, and with very few errors.

It's a very powerful translator. I mostly use it between English, French, and German. However, a couple of years ago they added Ukrainian, and this comes handy sometimes.
The translator traces the context: if I choose to translate some word in a specific gender or in a specific way (you = "tu" or "vous"), it propagates this way of translation to all the text that follows.

The only improvement suggestion that I have is that if I change another word earlier in the text, then other words later in the text get reset to their default translation. But maybe this is a limitation of the free version?

My skills are not even close to my needs. So. DeepL have saved me with exellent translations

Like it very much. It translates very fast and well, but when there is a lot of text, it makes some mistakes.

I rarely need a translator, but I have been using this one for years and have always been satisfied. Fast, uncomplicated, and accurate.

is the best translator, always updated and always finding the perfect words

Mostly, I use DeepL to improve my German and Spanish writing. (I'm a native English speaker.) The suggested rewrites, which I employ sentence-by-sentence, are generally clear and often include helpful adjustments to vocabulary and phrasing.

I’m translating from contemporary Dutch into English. News articles are usually translated flawlessly, but more technical, higher level Dutch, or academic Dutch can be very frustrating because Deepl provides multiple translations that only differ slightly. Nevertheless, I have to slug through all those duplication to eliminate them. Upon reading a review of Deepl’s work, I still find duplication.

DeepL is quick and accurate in translating Japanese to English, and vice versa. It helps me converse with my friends and companies in Japan. Thank You. David.

Translations are good and really fast
But translating email is not that good, often times it does not work at all

I use DeepL on my Windows PC, everyday. What makes DeepL so great is it's integration into other apps, like Signal and Facebook messenger.

You can even use hot keys to access DeepL with apps that don't (or won't) integrate with DeepL, such as WhatsApp.

The phone app is great also.

It's excellent.

It is in proper English language without exaggerations.

For a while, this was my go-to quick translator. Then they did an update last fall & Pro no longer works on my older imac. So I will not be renewing my subscription.

The basic app seems to have lost the ability to translate common idiomatic expressions while the app in Chrome is clumsy and slow.

Sometimes a little quirky but I can get 8t done.

I have used both the free and paid versions and it has been very good. I agree with some people that the use of AI has degraded some of the functionality but, as an occasional user I am very happy with it and I am grateful for the free facility when I don't need to do large and complex translations. I find it disheartening that some people seem to feel entitled to perfection without any investment.

I use Deepl via API and Windows app.
+ Far better than other translation sw
- Gemini, ChatGPT etc. translation result is better

I mainly use it to translate a technical terminology from English to French and, occasionally, to do the reverse.The availability of a glossary is major.
