DeepL Translate is an artificial intelligence (AI) language translation tool that provides highly accurate and natural-sounding translations for text in various languages. It uses neural network technology to learn from vast amounts of language data and to analyze the context of each sentence to provide translations that are closer to human-like quality than many other translation tools.
Translations between the following languages are supported:
| Arabic | Dutch | Greek | Lithuanian | Slovak |
| Bulgarian | English (American) | Hungarian | Norwegian (bokmål) | Slovenian |
| Chinese (simplified) | English (British) | Indonesian | Polish | Spanish |
| Chinese (traditional) | Estonian | Italian | Portuguese | Swedish |
| Chinese | Finnish | Japanese | Portuguese (Brazilian) | Turkish |
| Czech | French | Korean | Romanian | Ukrainian |
| Danish | German | Latvian | Russian |

Translating Content

When a translation request is in progress, any user who visits the page that is being translated would see a warning informing them of the process that is running in the background.
NOTE: You have the option to define which text fields will be excluded from the translation.
Translation History
