DeepL: translate & write Reviews

by E+3 Engineer

The speed of the words being translated and repeated in another language is too fast to comprehend completely. There should be a way to slow it down so that one can study exactly how each word or phrase is being pronounced. Even just googling translations they say it fast and slower. Also the translation gives alternative ways too say it in another language but it doesn’t explain why they are alternatives and it also doesn’t allow you to listen to the alternatives. I will be removing DeepL.

It’s a great translator especially for a web novel I’m reading that’s originally in Japanese however when I go to copy and paste the text from Japanese to English I get some lines of text that don’t translate correctly in any way shape or form.

They say random things like “to get the most out of your time visit our website” or “if you don’t know how to contact us, contact us through our website”.

But when I copy and paste those same lines separately in a new this app tab I get the correct translation. What is this and how to fix?

I find DeepL useful for English-Polish translations but it can be frustrating to use There are two minor issues. First, the website allows you to tap on a word in the Polish translation and select a different word. You can see how the sentence changes using an alternate translation. I wish DeepL had a similar feature. Two, tapping on the speaker icon gives the pronunciation in the most robotic voice I’ve ever heard. The voice isn’t clear and there is no way to change the speed. I also can’t find a way to select male or female voice.

I love and use this app all the time when I’m doing work on my computer. However, using it on my phone leaves me wanting! It lacks the functionality of choosing between formal and informal communication and I don’t have the capacity to change isolated words in the translation as I do with the computer app. Give them 6 months to a year and this thing should be developed into a robust translation tool! Could you guys also add Ukrainian, Arabic and Persian? That would help everyone in Europe out tremendously!

I’ve been told the translations are spot on! DeepL is easy to use and can compete alongside Google translate (this app has better translations I’ve heard). My one complaint is that there is no “simplified” translation for English -> Japanese. As a Japanese learner, it would be extremely helpful to have the translation presented in hiragana or romaji in addition to the original translation that comes written in kanji. 5 stars if it had this feature. Besides that great app.

It’s the most accurate translator out there. Sometimes I have to correct tu/usted inconsistencies but that’s all. BUT, the new version adding the new features makes the interface way too cluttered and crowded and makes typing more difficult and prone to hitting the wrong button.

Also, when you join for a year it only lets you log in on one device so I can’t switch between iPhone and iPad without signing out and in again, which stinks. That’s so … 2010… every app allows multi device use these days.

I find this more useful than Google translate, because it gives more options but for entering data (like speaking in both English and the foreign language) and because it gives optional translations. It would be much better though if it linked to additional grammatical information about the word it finds,Such as gender, plurals, or conjugations

by Rumorian

I'm really impressed with the quality of the translations. While other options sometimes translate texts into an almost incoherent mess, DeepL makes it almost feel like you're reading a text that was already written in English.

Just one request, please add an extension for Safari that saves you the step of copying and pasting a wall of text to have it translated in DeepL . Microsoft's does a really good job with this, I hope you can offer it as well.

Can you please add camera mode so you can translate stuff you can’t type but can just translate through a camera, it would be very helpful because I’m playing a Japanese game and I NEED to translate it but I can’t type the text so Idk Japanese, so please add camera mode, but DeepL so far translates really nicely so 5 stars,

I’ve been using their website and MacOS app for a while. In fact, I had their website bookmarked on my phone’s Home Screen until they came out with DeepL . You literally cannot compare the accuracy and quality of the translations from this app. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using a web version for the past 3 months. I can say that this app catches and translates the nuance of the language consistently better than google. A better alternative to Google, the company that consistently moves in the opposite direction of its original ethos of “do no evil”? Heck yeah, this app has been my go to translator app the past month.

by JordanFromBerlin

First off, I’m really surprised that DeepL only has 99 reviews. It’s such a fantastic app. When I was living in Germany, everyone used this app on their desktop instead of any other translator. I have never had a native German speaker correct anything I ever said that I had translated with this, but that has happened to me when using Google Translate.

This is perfect for when you are traveling and have a complex question beyond your food order or directions. While visiting Paris, people were able to completely understand my translations, and I was able to get around and get clarifications seamlessly.
As for work, it is so easy to use. I pay for the pro, and I can directly upload documents and translate them, and they are 98% accurate. Soo much more efficient than trying to translate manually. And, when you cross-translate to verify, it maintains the text in English (unlike the popular app).

All translations I could do are accurate, expedient, and worthy of sending. The two problems I have are: 1) you need cellular or WiFi to work it. 2) some words cannot translate over, for example: slang words. Google translate, I’ve found to be very good in these regards. It works on and off data, and can translate over slang words.

Gone are the days of the gibberish translations. As a court interpreter in Italian, I am amazed at how this translator picks up on the SENSE of the translation. And where it doesn’t get it quite perfectly, you have the option to click on a word or phrase to tune it up, and it almost always offers the option that does fit perfectly. Very well done! But it WILL make you lazy….

But this time I do, I’m currently learning Russian English is my original language I’m fascinated with languages and yes this is going to be a one long sentence so no grammar Nazis! I came across deep L some months ago and became fascinated with the project. Since then it is my go to source it’s accurate it gives you suggestions as well as corrections. Anyone that’s trying to learn Russian understand there’s like 50 words for one word in English it’s all about context deep l covers that!

100% behind this project I wish there was more that I could do!

by Rupo

this app nails most translations, even really complex and specialized one. The translation engine behind it is absolutely incredible, few things need to be fixed manually.

DeepL is still a bit simple but it does the job. Its companion dictionary app Linguee is also so much more sophisticated than those Google, Microsoft and Apple translators from Silicon Valley.

Makes sense that a company from multilingual Europe has the lead here…

by Ted E. Bear

this app does the most natural, context aware translations of any online machine translation service I’ve tried (much more so than a certain g*** translate). This free app has a very modest character limitation, but I have no complaints, again this is a free app, five stars.

But I pay for this app Pro and I hope a this app Pro iOS app is in the works or maybe they could work the pro features into the free app and allow access after logging in. The Mac app does that.

Love this translator and how accurate it is! I don’t really travel to places with different languages, but I own several characters that don’t speak english, and having something to translate into their languages and actually be able to make the characters talk is really helpful!!

I really hope to see more languages added soon, especially Irish language, because it’s one of the languages I have an unusual infatuation with.

by Joshlndmd

I’ve been through a lot of translators and as a native trilingual (Spanish, French and English) I can affirm that this app definitely takes into account 99% of linguistic details. Accurate grammatical translation, accurate translation of expressions, this is the perfect translator, DeepL could use a few more tools when compared to the google translate app for example but if your looking for accuracy then you’ve definitely found the right translator!

Google Translate is far superior to DeepL which tells you just how poor it is
