DeepL Translate Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about DeepL is its impressive accuracy and the natural flow of its translations. The results genuinely read as if they were written by a human, rather than generated by a machine. DeepL excels at capturing context and tone, which is particularly valuable when working on professional documents, emails, or marketing materials. The interface is straightforward and user-friendly, allowing for seamless switching between languages or text formats. Additionally, its integration with tools like Word and Chrome adds an extra layer of convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, less common languages or specialized technical terms may not be translated as accurately, and the formatting can sometimes change when working with lengthy documents. I also wish the free version supported a wider range of file types. Despite these points, the service is highly dependable and generally outperforms most other options.

I really like the ease of use with DeepL. It's very easy and direct, working with almost everything on my PC and even my phone, which allows me to work on the fly. DeepL has become a valuable asset for me, especially when sending legal or sensitive information that needs to be translated from English to Spanish without losing coherence. I appreciate how it integrates seamlessly with tools like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and Firefox. The initial setup is very easy and intuitive, integrating seamlessly with my other AI tools to enhance my work. I have not used customer support, but from what I've heard, it is simple, and easy to contact DeepL when needed, or if questions arise. I use DeepL on a daily basis.

Sometimes DeepL can lag, and you need to basically log in again to use the tool. Additionally, whenever you translate a document, you often lose the format. This nags me a lot, if not always. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use DeepL as an invaluable ally in my work as a professional translator and proofreader. It excels in providing clear, natural-sounding translations that effectively capture nuances and context, outperforming other machine translation tools, even surpassing ChatGPT in this regard. I find it particularly useful for suggesting alternative phrasing options, which is a great support during the drafting and research stages, especially for tricky idiomatic expressions. Its speed and user-friendly interface enhance its appeal; the MacBook app is excellent and allows for convenient text pasting using only the keyboard, boosting my workflow efficiency. The installation process, whether for the Mac app or the browser version, was incredibly simple, requiring minimal steps, and I appreciate how intuitive the interface is.

I find that sometimes DeepL can get buggy, both in the browser and the Mac app. It displays server errors or fails to function properly, which can be quite frustrating when I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the shortcut on Windows and MacOS to translate and replace selected text, and the option to set DeepL as the default translator in iOS. I also appreciate the ability to select whether I want a formal or informal translation for German, which allows me to translate English into the wished form depending on whom I'm writing to. One of the standout features for me is its speed; it saves me a lot of time in my day. Additionally, the setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app crashes regularly and requires a force quit of the app. It's random. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Deepl many times a day for translation work. Deepl translates while you type and that works very well compared to other translators. It also works great with suggestions when clicking on a word (suggestions/ variations)

I would not be able to do my job fast enough without it and has made me a nice amount of money with my 'side job'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A] I complained about this about 2 years ago - Deepl still makes mistakes with formal / informal in the Dutch language (NL) - It still sometimes translates 'you' or 'your' wrong. It will translate 'you' or 'your' in informal to 'u' / 'uw' instead of 'je' / 'jou' (etc). You need to speak Dutch in order to understand what I mean.

B] I don't like the new version because 1] The formal/informal switch has moved to 'editing tools' . 2] I can't edit glossaries like the old look on the same translation page. 3] The undo button (command z) does not work anymore, so it does not go back to previous edits/ translations. 4] when clicking on a word it does not react as fast as the previous version (or does not react at all)

C] Deepl is sometimes very slow!

D} Glossary still does not work properly. It will take too long to explain!

This slows down my work and I'm seriously considering using the free version after 3 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fast, rather good, machine translation, which I **attempt** to use for business and personal work. I am native- or near-native-fluent in several languages and use it to generate texts in those languages. Then I edit those texts for my own style, or for differing regional vocabulary and structure. Spanish is different in Peru than Spain. French is different in Paris than Québec. USW ... as one would say in German.

Personally, it is also very useful for a number of languages I speak somewhat comfortably, but not yet fluently -- Hungarian, Swedish, and Italian being top-three of some eight. I use it as a language **instruction** tool, because I can focus on the language as used in my profession [Agronomy] to build on my solid ability to deal with daily-life when in-country.

For two years I have paid the USD105 upgrade, but the system continues to restrict me to 1500 words. It refuses to accept MS-Word documents, although that's what I PAY for.

Repeated attempts to address that problem with Customer Service have gone nowhere and corrected nothing.

Customer service, for me, has been somewhere between terrible and non-existent, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DeepL has long impressed me with its outstanding translation quality. The results are not only grammatically correct, but also sound natural in terms of style – almost as if they had been written by a native speaker. DeepL's superiority over other tools is particularly evident in more complex texts or technical language. It integrates seamlessly into various working environments. Whether as a web app or desktop version, it is flexible and supports an efficient workflow.

In short, DeepL is the most reliable and user-friendly translation tool on the market for me – a real must-have for anyone who regularly works with multilingual content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I also like the user interface: it is clearly structured, intuitive to use, and pleasantly minimalistic. Of course, there are minor points that could be optimized, but overall the UI is a successful example of functional design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use and the customization available through glossaries and now the integration with translation memories. I am able to quickly and reliably translate text from any domain. It now a firm part of my workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of integrating context into translation, for example, being able to indicate what type of document of scenario the text is being translated for. This occurs, for example, when translating UI keys for software and translation errors occur, because I am not able to provide context for what type of software. I hope this will be improved with the development of the Customization Hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy the Chrome widget is to use. It lets me translate any selected text on a webpage instantly, without needing to switch tabs. The widget automatically detects the language of the selected text and supports more than 30 languages. In the settings, I can choose my target languages, customize shortcut keys, and enable or disable pop-ups or floating icons as needed. The ease of use is perfect for a high-paced working environment. I use it every day for short words or phrase translations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pop-ups and floating icon features can sometimes be confusing/frustrating, especially when translation isn't needed. Additionally, certain functions such as full-page translation or more advanced style options are only available with a DeepL Pro subscription. There are also occasional delays, instances where text doesn't translate immediately, or minor bugs that appear in specific situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love DeepL for its simple and robust API, which provides fast response times, making it ideal for integrating into my SaaS businesses. I also appreciate its impressive uptime, which showcases the quality of the software, allowing me to manage translations seamlessly without worrying about downtime disruptions. Setting up DeepL was very easy, which added convenience to integrating it into my operations. Additionally, I've successfully incorporated the API to build a translation management suite on top of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited language support: For some translation pairs, I have to use Google Translate API instead of DeepL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
