AI-enabled real-time translation that sounds human
DeepL is a neural machine translation service providing translations across 30+ languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Dutch, and many more.
The tool employs a proprietary algorithm with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained with the Linguee database. This technology produces a more natural-sounding translation using a supercomputer operating in Iceland. The system is designed to handle long, coherent word sequences — compensating for potential weaknesses in CNNs using supplemental techniques.
This powerful combo sets DeepL apart in the field of machine translation. Moreover, its success speaks to the increasing potential of AI and machine learning in breaking down language barriers and facilitating global communication.
Beyond basic text, the tool also supports the translation of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and PDF files.
DeepL can be used for free with a limit of 5,000 characters per translation, and there is also the Pro (paid) version that removes that limit and includes access to the API.
What are the key features?
⭐
- Translation capabilities: DeepL can translate text between 30+ languages, such as English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and many more.
