DeepL translates typed text and whole files, with glossaries, formal or informal tone and full-page translation. Paid plans add more characters and files, more glossaries and translation memory, and DeepL lists “no data training” on its paid plans.

How to use DeepL: step-by-step tutorial
Five to eight steps from the account to a first useful result. Where the official guide names a control, the step uses that name. Where it does not, the step stays general.
- Open the translator at deepl.com. The free version works without paying.
- Paste the final script, not a draft, and pick the target language.
- Set formal or informal tone if your language pair supports it.
- Add product names and job titles to a glossary so they stay consistent.
- Ask a native speaker to review the translation before you record or generate the video.
These steps follow the official guide: DeepL pricing.
