DeepL
DeepL is the AI translator from Cologne that sets the standard for quality: natural translations for texts, documents, and via API.
DeepL is an AI translator from Cologne and for many, it's the first choice when translations need to sound natural. Over 200,000 companies use the Pro version, which also includes the DeepL Write writing assistant, document translation, desktop apps, and an API for custom systems.
Typical uses include understanding English contracts and emails, preparing website content for new markets, and translating Word and PDF files while preserving their layout. Its strength lies in its fluency: especially for German-English, results often sound print-ready where Google Translate can be clunky. Glossaries ensure consistent terminology across the company.
Google Translate covers well over 100 languages, while DeepL covers just over 30, but with higher quality. ChatGPT now translates similarly well and understands contextual instructions better. Important: In the free version, texts can be used for training; confidential content should only be used in the Pro version.
Suitable for virtually any company with international correspondence. Those who need exotic languages or want to manage entire localization workflows should look to Google Translate or Phrase, respectively.
