The DeepL API provides programmatic access to DeepL’s language AI technology, making it possible to bring high quality translation capabilities directly to your websites and applications.

​
Common use cases for the DeepL API:

  • Website translation: Localize websites and expand to new markets efficiently and at scale—even in sectors like e-commerce and news media with a large catalog of dynamic content.
  • Company communications: Integrate DeepL’s translation technology into your company’s systems such as Confluence and SharePoint. Enable your global teams to communicate seamlessly and with maximum data security.
  • Building multilingual products: Translate chat conversations to connect users across language barriers in real time. Localize comments and product reviews with the click of a button. Make translation one of your differentiating features—however you imagine it.
In addition, many leading computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool providers have integrated DeepL’s technology into their software. This lets translators benefit from DeepL’s high-quality neural translations within their favorite translation tool.
