THE SERVICE
DeepL is a site that automatically translates text into several languages… but much more professional (among other things) than Google Translation.
The best automatic translator in the world
DeepL's neural networks capture the most subtle nuances and reproduce them in the translation, resulting in an end result that far exceeds the quality of other machine translation services. In blind tests between DeepL Translator and its competitors, translators gave three times more preference to DeepL Translator's translations. DeepL also achieves unparalleled results in scientific evaluation tests.
USE
WEBSITE
When you have text to translate (website or document), simply select it, copy it and paste it on the service page. The service automatically recognizes the language* of the text and by default translates it into the language of your system.
You can change the translation language at any time, as well as some of the words or phrases translated. These corrections are kept in order to improve the quality of the service.
DESKTOP APPLICATION
When you download the application (Mac or PC), the operation is easier: you select the text you want to translate and then type the shortcut ⌘C ⌘C on Mac or crtl C + C on a PC, which launches the application, copies your text and translates it instantly.
