Best lenguage to start is English. --- ### The best translator I’ve ever used! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Communication with customers non-existent; only bots and FAQs. Written to MD with my complaints and suggestions for improvement - not answer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Accuracy and speed. Many different languages available, but I only use two main languages. Voice translation is possible. #### Cons Users of your translation programme have no way of exiting your default programme; in other words, they have to select the source and target languages anew every time, even though most users usually choose the same language combination. It’s a right pain! The default target language is American English, the spelling of which we in the UK consider incorrect and therefore generally avoid. 2. In the basic version of the programme, only a single glossary is permitted at no extra cost. No translator can work with just a single glossary, so why on earth do you even offer this? Very petty! 3. Furthermore, the programme can only be integrated with commonly used apps (e.g. Word) at an additional cost. 4. Bad website design --- ### Mon avis sur Deepl - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · monthly - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Traducteur que j'apprécie pour son travail magnifique, il est simple d'utilisation et ne donne presque jamais des incompréhensions #### Cons La version gratuite est quand même limitée, au bout de deux ou trois utilisations on est contrait de prendre un abonnement. --- ### If you want to be overpriced, at least be worth it. - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: December 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My subscription is monthly but I use it almost a year. Overall, I was satisfied. During last month's subscription I faced some problems with deepl's translate text. The alternatives do not work properly resulting to waste my time as well as the limit of the characters i have due to my plan pro. So, I emailed them and notified them with my problem. After some emails the result was that ''my issue is not a priority'' and when I asked for at least a compensation, they responded ''Regrettably, we are not able to offer any form of compensation, or goodwill gesture in this case.'' So I don't think it's worth €30,00 per month. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros It's easy to use and quite accurate. At ''translation text'' there is the option of ''alternatives'' that helps me a lot. #### Cons Τheir approach to the problem that arose. I find it really unfair to pay €30,00 per month and due to their faulty product to not meet the expectations they advertise. --- ### Great quality translation for all uses - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ashish P. - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As someone who does not natively speak the language of the country where I reside, or the job where I work, DeepL Pro has been a lifesaver. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Probably the most accurate and human-sounding machine translation out there. DeepL has really upped the game with its extensive customization options and document translation, allowing me to just use it without worrying about accuracy. #### Cons The interface could use some improvement. Other than fewer restrictions on translation, there are no major benefits to going for a pro subscription. The cost of a pro subscription therefore tends to be a bit high for personal use, but not a big concern for work use. --- ### DeepL Pro review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros DeepL is great tool for translation. Fast, contextual and reliable. It captures the context which leads to a more precise translation. #### Cons It still does not support many languages. Also, some areas are not being translated and need improvement. --- ### A solid translator support for your writing with adaptive styles - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 --- ### Good program at the core but got worse overtime. Sometimes horrible. Switching to Trados. - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Mateusz v. - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 1-3 years · daily - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Full of glitches and bugs, technically got worse and worse over the years, it is sometime horrible, unprofessional, customer service can't fix a relatively easy problem for months and that is with a Pro Account. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Artificial Intelligence function, speed, creativity, clicking on words in the translation and being able to choose other ones on the go #### Cons Memory doesn't work, simpel option that customer service/IT department wasn't able to fix for months, still faulty --- ### The best MT engine out there - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gregory C. - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 1-3 years · daily - 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. --- ### DeepL Pro Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - 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. --- ### Best translator I have ever used! Poweful! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Research - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - 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. --- ### Deep L Pro - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - 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. --- ### Great Translation Tool for Long Texts - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Samuel A. - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - 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. --- ### Excellent machine translation of whole books - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · monthly - 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. --- ### Great translation tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is the best tool I have found so far to translate. It's easy to use, and the translation is very accurate. #### Cons The software takes a while to load, this may sometimes be inconvenient if you need a translation quickly. --- ### Literal plus Context - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - 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. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - 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 - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - 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: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - 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. --- ### Best in class Neural Machine Translation - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Enrico G. - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · daily - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
