Translations for Mods - DeepL

[jmaeq]

Hi all,

I was curious to know if anyone has used the DeepL translator to create an official translation of their mod. I have read this post here and other reviews elsewhere, and it seems very nice, but would anyone recommend it to translate a full-blown mod into another language?

I tested it with a few texts. The result is: it is better than any other non-professional translators you can find on the web. However, I warn you: do not rely on the translation produced, it is likely not to correspond to the original text.

Use DeepL translator either for a first draw or to check special meanings. In other words, use it as a tool to improve your translation, but it will never be as efficient as a human translator.

i noticed it doesn't "convert" punctuation according to the orthographic and stylistic rules of the target language, so that certainly needs a manual pass.
