Using DeepL Pro with CAT Tools

• Which plans allow me to use DeepL Pro in CAT tools?

  There are several plans that allow people to use DeepL Pro within CAT tools. Both the individual and team versions of the Advanced and Ultimate plans allow DeepL Pro users to use DeepL’s translation technology within CAT tools. Please note that these plans do not include access to the DeepL API for integration in applications other than CAT tools.

• Which CAT tools support DeepL Pro?

  Below is a list of CAT tools that allow DeepL Pro integration:

  • SDL Trados Studio 2017 and 2019
  • memoQ 8.5 or higher
  • Across Language Server
  • Wordfast Anywhere & Wordfast Pro 5.7 or higher
  • QTranslate
  • Memsource
  • Weblate

  This list is far from exhaustive. If your favorite CAT tool is not listed here, please contact the provider to see if they can create a plug-in to allow you to integrate DeepL Pro!

• How do I know if my CAT tool supports DeepL Pro integration?

  The DeepL Pro plug-in may only be supported in certain versions or editions of the CAT tool providers’ products. In order to find out more about plug-in support, please contact your CAT tool provider’s customer service.

• As a translator, how can I benefit from DeepL Pro if I don't work with CAT tools?

  You will be able to use the web translation service with the same advantages as integrating DeepL Pro into CAT tools; no restriction of text length, full document translation, and excellent data protection, as your clients' texts will never be stored.

• Which languages does my subscription cover?

  A DeepL Pro subscription covers all languages that DeepL supports. There are currently 72 possible combinations between English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Polish, and Russian. Further languages will become available in the near future.
