DeepL Translator


The DeepL Translator is a free machine translation service launched in August 2017. It has received positive press asserting that it is more accurate and nuanced than Google Translate.
DeepL converts words directly between English and ten languages: Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Additionally, approximations of language equivalence are proposed among all of those languages, using a two-step process via an English pivot.
DeepL Translator was developed by DeepL GmbH based in Cologne, Germany.

Reception

Reception of the DeepL Translator has been generally positive, with TechCrunch appreciating it for the accuracy of its translations, stating that it was more accurate and nuanced than Google Translate, and Le Monde thanking its developers for translating French text into more 'French-sounding' expressions. A news article from the website of the Dutch television channel RTL Z stated that DeepL Translator "offers better translations when it comes to Dutch to English and vice versa".
DeepL's own blind studies have given better results for its translator than Google Translate, but independent measurements have not compared the two services yet. DeepL Translator won the 2020 Webby Award for Best Practices in the category Apps, Mobile & Voice. DeepL Translator won the 2020 Webby Award for Technical Achievement in the category Apps, Mobile & Voice.
