jmaeq Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) 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?

Gwendolyne Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
bob_veng Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
