Professionals working in sectors with specific language and jargon have often expressed wishes for the ability to customize the translations they get from DeepL Translator. Legal, technical, and/or scientific terminology, as well as aspects of company style guides, can be entered into the Glossary and will then be correctly and consistently applied in translation. This increased control provides invaluable benefits in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
“We are very pleased to give our users more influence on how our technology works for them,” said DeepL CEO Jaroslaw Kutylowski. “Our new Glossary feature is an exciting advance that gives people more control over machine translation and opens new possibilities for how DeepL’s technology can facilitate communication.”
The Glossary can be viewed at any time by clicking the “Customization” button on DeepL Translator. The user can then add, edit, and delete translation pairs to make sure that the Glossary is always up to date. In future, it will be possible to share Glossaries between team members.
As of today, the ability to influence DeepL Translator’s choice of words is available to DeepL Pro subscribers and free users alike on DeepL.com. Without a subscription, the number of possible Glossary pairs is limited, whereas DeepL Pro subscribers may create as many as they like. The Glossary feature is available for translations between German and English, and English and French, with further language combinations to be added in future.

Germany’s top AI company, DeepL, is proud to now provide machine translation for two of the most highly-anticipated and in-demand languages: Japanese and Chinese.
In Europe and the Americas, DeepL is already known as the world’s best AI translation company. Now, following a long period of intensive research, the company has added two of Asia’s most-spoken languages, with quality exceeding other machine translation systems. “China and Japan are two of the most economically and culturally important countries, so this has been an important goal for us for a long time,” said DeepL CEO Jaroslaw Kutylowski. “Now that our systems produce Chinese and Japanese translations that live up to our standards, we have reached an important milestone in our quest to bring people around the world closer together.”

As always, to ensure the highest quality, DeepL blind-tested their new systems: Japanese and Chinese translators were presented with anonymized translations from DeepL and competitors such as Google, Microsoft, and Chinese giants Baidu and Youdao, and were asked to select the best results.* DeepL once again came out on top in all language combinations.
Achieving high levels of accuracy and natural-sounding Chinese and Japanese translations proved to be an exciting challenge for DeepL’s researchers. On the back of early 2020’s advances in the company’s neural network architecture, the team of mathematicians and computer engineers trained new algorithms on millions of translated texts and sought the insights of DeepL’s Chinese and Japanese language experts to optimize performance.
The result is translation AI familiar with several thousand Chinese characters and Japanese kanji, hiragana, and katakana, and able to recognize the context in which words and phrases occur. DeepL’s systems capture linguistic nuances to produce natural-sounding translations using language relevant to a specific field, such as legal or medical terminology.
Translation to and from Japanese and Chinese is now available free of charge on DeepL.com. The addition of these two languages brings the total number of translation combinations available on DeepL Translator to 110, and expands DeepL’s language coverage to more than 1 billion potential new users.

The company made headlines as early as 2017, when it outshone the translation systems of all major high-tech companies with DeepL Translator. For the first time, the newly-designed neural networks were able to translate even longer passages without errors. As a result, the popularity of DeepL grew rapidly: More than half a billion people used its services in 2019.
Today, DeepL is releasing a new translation system based on its many advancements in artificial intelligence. All criteria that make a good translation have been improved by the new system. The meaning of translated sentences is more accurately conveyed in the target language, and, at the same time, the new system often finds more professional formulations.
DeepL's new translation system was also scientifically evaluated in blind tests: 119 lengthy passages from different domains were translated with DeepL Translator and competing systems, such as Google Translate or Microsoft Translator. Professional translators then evaluated these translations and selected the best one - without being informed which system had produced which translation. The translators selected DeepL's translations four times more often than those of any other system.*
DeepL has demonstrated once again that European companies can not only keep up with the world leaders in the field of Deep Learning, but can also set new standards. "We assume that companies such as Google or Microsoft also have very good data for training neural translation networks," says DeepL co-founder and CEO Jaroslaw Kutylowski. "On the other hand, we have achieved many innovations in the mathematics and methodology of neural networks. It is, of course, a special moment for the whole team now that these improvements can be used by billions of people."
DeepL's vision is to break down language barriers worldwide and bring cultures closer together. To achieve this, the company is planning to add many more languages and, in the coming months and years, wants to integrate translation technology wherever people communicate, interact, or do business with each other. This vision also motivates many AI researchers and developers to join DeepL; the number of employees more than doubled in 2019 to 60, and Kutylowski is expecting a further doubling in 2020: "Highly-qualified applicants are naturally always welcome here."

The software operates in the background and can be activated with a keyboard shortcut; there’s no need to copy text to the website and back in order to use the translation. The integration creates a direct connection between DeepL and any Windows or Mac computer.
Translations can be called up at any time, without ever leaving the program or application. The user need only select the text to be translated and press ⌘C (Mac) or Ctrl+C (Windows) twice. DeepL then displays the translation, along with alternatives. One final click inserts the translation into the user’s text.
“This integration represents a further step in our quest to provide high-quality AI solutions to everyday language problems,” said Kutylowski. “By opening up new avenues to use DeepL, we hope to see even more people expressing themselves, sharing information, and making new connections.”
The DeepL software supports the same 72 language combinations as on DeepL.com, as well as providing the much-loved alternate translations, synonyms, and other formulations. New languages will automatically become available once added to DeepL. Subscribers to premium service DeepL Pro can sign into their accounts via the software. The software is free to download at DeepL.com/app.
