Overview
DeepL is an AI translation-language service that translates text, documents and speech across dozens of languages using neural machine translation. It is run by DeepL SE of Cologne, Germany, founded in 2017 and known for natural-sounding output. You use it through the web app, desktop and mobile apps, a browser extension, and the documented DeepL API for developers. No material change was found in this review. Its licence, regional coverage and interface languages are not stated on the vendor pages checked in this review, so those three points remain unconfirmed.
