Reception

Initial reception of the DeepL Translator was generally positive, with TechCrunch appreciating it for the accuracy of its translations, stating that it was 'more accurate' than Google Translate,[2] and Le Monde thanking its developers for translating French text into more 'French-sounding' expressions.[3] A news article from the website of the Dutch television channel RTL Z stated that DeepL Translator "offers better translations […] when it comes to Dutch to English and vice versa".[4]

Other news agencies and news websites have shown their praise for DeepL Translator, such as the Italian newspaper La Repubblica[5] and the Latin American website wwwhatsnew.com.[6]

On a brief excerpt from a forum, in the sober style of a minister, DeepL also achieved better results than the other services, thanks to more "French" phrases and avoiding a small trap: the other four translated [the French phrase for] "to discuss these issues further" as "discuss these issues further", which is not correct. DeepL correctly translated it as "discussing these issues in more depth".

The DeepL team uses this supercomputer to train neural translation networks on a vast collection of multilingual texts. During the training, the networks examine a multitude of translations and learn to translate independently, with correct grammar and wording. […] Over the past decade, DeepL has collected over a billion high quality translated texts, collecting the best possible training material for a neural translation network.
