What is DeepL?

Deepl - an excellent language translator — DeepL - The best translator in the world

DeepL Translate is a website that automatically translates any phrase or word into over 29 languages (including Japanese). It is 3 times more accurate than competitors (like google translate). In Asian languages such as Japanese or Simplified Chinese, DeepL translates much more clearly, accurately and faithfully compared to the main translators on the internet.

DeepL is also different from other translators on the market because it has an API that integrates the translation with the services of online platforms and products.

It is possible to use DeepL for free. There is also a premium version called DeepL Pro where you can translate entire documents while maintaining original fonts, images and characters.

Furthermore, the Pro version is integrated with CAT tools (Computer Aided Translation Tools). Using it also guarantees the maximum protection of personal data, in which all texts are completely deleted after the completion of the translation.

DeepL VS Google Translate

As my main goal with online translators is to decode Japanese words and expressions into Portuguese, I never felt that google translator was the best option. For many years I was hostage to inaccurate translations, having to resort to the technique of translating first into English and then into Portuguese (which slightly increases the accuracy of google translate). Even so, the quality of the translations remained poor.

When I discovered Deepl, I realized that even translating something directly from Japanese to Portuguese or vice versa, the meaning translations were much more fluid and correct than any other translation tool. Even some idioms are better translated by DeepL than by google translator.

However, DeepL is not perfect. There are still serious translation problems when we talk about converting Japanese into Portuguese, mainly due to the geographical and linguistic distance with which the languages emerged. Portuguese is still very distant from Japanese, and the way of expressing an idea in Brazil would not sound as natural in Japan.

Nowadays, with the emergence of artificial intelligence, it has become possible to obtain more complete information about words and translations, which makes everything easier and more dynamic.

Finally, it is important to keep in mind that the best thing to do is never translate, but always try to capture the essence of the meaning in the mother tongue. Never use translators to communicate with foreigners, especially if the translator is too general and not precise. Try to learn the language, the native expressions and the native way of communicating, so that the speech will sound more natural to the listener's ears.
