American and British spelling and vocabulary capabilities

Variations in spelling are covered, depending on your preference:

  • American neighbors become British neighbours.
  • American color becomes British colour.
  • American organize becomes British organise.

Similarly, Translator takes into account terms that have completely different equivalents across the pond: 

  • American cookies become British biscuits. (That is, of course, unless they're on your web browser.)
  • American elevators become British lifts.
  • People can call each other on their cell phones or on their mobile phones.

This expanded control over DeepL Translator enables you to more quickly get translations that respect your preferred language conventions. 

To set the language variety you’d like, simply select either “English (American)” or “English (British)” as the target language.
