The most complete and easy translator on the market I know. A consistent tool to check your writing when you often write in languages in which you are fluent but not a mother tongue. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The translator who best supports the fluency of language and understands the overall context. The possibility of editing individual words in a resulting text is a "must" feature. Writing style is a top option. #### Cons Individual words are not always as incisive as you would like #### Reasons for choosing DeepL Pro I like most DeepL for long texts. Still using Reverso for specific words or idioms research. --- ### Good concept, bad tech, worse decisions - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Adriaan M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered When it works, it's great and helps a lot. When it works. One would expect the team to test their updates before making them live, but they seem to think it's way too bothersome to do. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Translating on the go via a keyboard shortcut. #### Cons Everything else. Bugs everywhere, every other update breaks the app, little to no support. --- ### The best MT engine out there - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gregory C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, DeepL Pro is a very important element of my profession. Without it, and with rates and expectations being what they are, it would be difficult to work efficiently enough, at least some of the time. Though the product is intended for general use, it really is the gold standard for translators - at least in the languages I work with - in particular due to the easy integration with various CAT tools. For all it offers, the price is more than worth it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros DeepL not only produces great output, but it does a great job of parsing and adapting to context. As such, unlike some other tools, it actually helps translators do their jobs better - not just faster. It has improved over time, proving that the machine learning model does work for MT. #### Cons The desktop client could be a bit more feature-rich and reliable, but it's certainly not bad - it just seems a bit 'beta'. Of course, the engine does make some mistakes, but once you use it enough, you can usually predict where they will occur. Integrating with CAT tools through the API makes these foibles easier to address. #### Reasons for choosing DeepL Pro As I wrote above, DeepL produces better results, understands context better, and is easier to integrate with CAT tools, especially for those using more than one tool (unlike, say, Memsource Translate). It is also easy to pay once per year for unlimited use, rather than count by character. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro DeepL is simply better - that is, it produces better results. On top of that, it integrates much better with the CAT tools I use. --- ### DeepL Pro Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I am using DeepL Pro in order to translate a paragraph, sentence or a word. Moreover, it lists the synonyms of each term present in the translation result, allowing us to easily replace any word. #### Cons I like this product because it gives me reliable results. I haven't found any drawbacks. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro DeepL provides a more satisfactory translation. --- ### Great Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Maria Alejandra R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Outsourcing/ Offshoring - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. In general my experience with the software has been too good, it has always provided me with the required information and has been adjusted to my immediate needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is an application that connects the world and its languages and provides synonyms and multiple words that can be adjusted to the true meaning of what we are trying to express to each other. #### Cons The only drawback that I have had so far is that it presents failures in the translation from Russian to Spanish or English, making it difficult to understand some sentences. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro Because this tool offers an array of vocabulary that the previous one did not, and it is richer in grammar. --- ### Best translator I have ever used! Poweful! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrea B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Excellent. I use it every day. I work mainly in English, but English is not my native language. Because it is so quick to translate, I use DL all the time to check if what I am writing (mostly formal emails or research reports) makes sense and is the most natural way to say it. I also use it to translate entire documents. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 1.) Quality of results. 2) Shortcut keys. You can translate anything by simply pressing CTR + C twice. #### Cons I like everything. The only problem is that sometimes it crashes and I have to reinstall the software. #### Reasons for choosing DeepL Pro I did not find similar products. I knew Reverso and was not satisfied. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro I needed something more reliable and pro. I was willing to pay for it. --- ### Deep L Pro - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Cory S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As a language teacher, I frequently recommend this app to my students who often need help to translate reports. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The translations are far more accurate than most other translation apps, including Google Translate. #### Cons Of course even for AI, it is difficult to get the context of some topics in various languages. There can be misunderstandings based on that. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro Mostly because of the accuracy. Also it is convenient and easy to use. --- ### Great Translation Tool for Long Texts - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Samuel A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My Go-to tool for short texts. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It gets more accurate the bigger the text is. It has a great and easy-to-use online application. #### Cons There are a few limitations for the free version that are really inconvenient, the size of the text that can be translated, and documents. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro I prefer using Google Translator API over Deepl PRO. But for regular texts, Deepl is definitely my most used tool --- ### Excellent machine translation of whole books - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stavros S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Deepl relieved me of the need of finding speakers of languages I do not speak. In fact, I have compared Deepl translations to translations made by professional translators and I must say that I preferred the result of Deepl. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In my work I need to read books written in languages I do not understand. Google translation most often yields unintelligible results when one wants to have a literary text translated. Deepl, on the other hand, gives a flawless translation. I found extremely useful the fact that it could translate almost perfectly the most elaborate texts. The translation needed very little corrections afterwards. It is amazing that the translation is so good. Google translation had me convinced that translation is always going to be the domain of human translators. Deepl yields perfect translations in no time, while maintaining the original format too. #### Cons I became a subscriber the moment I tried it. One feature that could be ameliorated is the fact that one has a limited number of docx files that can be translated per month. There are some months though that I do not use it so much. It would have been nice if I could then use my unused quota. But this is really a minor comment. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro Because the Google translation of european texts to my mother tongue was spectacularly inferior to that of Deepl. --- ### Literal plus Context - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Russell R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It’s fast and easy to use; I speak in English and the french text quickly shows, the click the microphone and hear the french speaker. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros great voices with vigor and clear enunciation. Especially important for my cochlear implant and bluetooth transfer thru the speech processor. #### Cons The context based translation makes it difficult to match french words with english words. I need to know how a frenchman thinks and speaks in a literal translation; after which, I need the context translation. --- ### Multilingual Projects with DeepL Pro - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matt H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

DeepL Pro is a powerful and accurate translation solution for professionals. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Deepl is very easy to use, for both text and documents and has a great (not free) API! #### Cons It's sometimes lacking consistent behaviour within the same text or file. --- ### Trsanslation with privacy - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The system provides privacy which is very critical for official documents. The Translation is way better than other tools and performs a nearly close translation. Document translation is pretty much good with various formats supported. It just does not perform translation of sentences word by word but most of the time translates according to structure of sentence. #### Cons Supports multiple languages but still lacks many. Not have a consistent experience in all languages. The dark mode is not available. Even with an Advanced subscription only 20 documents a month. The documents lose their format after translation. The sentence structure is lost after translation for long sentences and makes the sentences seem robotic. --- ### IN LOVE WITH - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tania C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have grown dependent on it, even if not working... #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is the most useful tool for my everyday work. It lets you choose from synonyms and different kind of expressing a concept / word / phrase. It's loaded with tons of phrases of the economical / legal area. #### Cons I dislike a feature that was added in the last months, that when you scroll over a word it turns blue and sometimes it's bothersome. It lacks phrases / expressions / words of the medical area. Greek language doesn't have a glossary yet. We need it! When I work in a particular translation, I would like it to remember how I translate certain words and use these words/phrases. --- ### The gold standard of machine-based translation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jens Olaf K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great. I'm an absolute fan for years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The usefulness of translation results and the processing of additional characters/strings (like from software code). And that I support a company of my home town: Cologne, Germany, is where HQ are located and the company was founded. #### Cons There are some features of the Windows desktop app that you can only use when you have a current subscription although the features is in fact free online. #### Reasons for switching to DeepL Pro Obviously the (back then) miserable quality. --- ### Awsome product for the money - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
