Best online Translator is deepl.com

[waldmattis]

Hello.
There are certainly a lot of visitors to this forum who have difficulties with English
and are therefore looking for good translation programs.

The best I have found so far on the basis of test reports is
deepl.com
It is a website, so it is not an independent app.
Provides excellent translation results.

Give it a try.
Regards
Karl

I just translated the text in German, looks ok to me.

Dutch looks fine as well. Thanks for the tip!

Could the user manual be good pilot project to test this service?

A 176-pp pilot project?! Wowza. Can you test Section 1 for us, picking a language that we don't have and that you are familiar with--Finnish, for example?

My experience with deepl.com is that it is very good with its European base languages, maybe especially the Romance languages, but perhaps less so with others.

I need to explore the use of deepl, and how to add new target languages there. But I also have started translation of user manual into Finnish, which I do manually every now and then.

That's terrific! You know the individual Sections are all in GitHub in odt format, right?

Pity it doesn't support more languages.

From their web-site translated from German:

Currently there are 42 possible combinations between English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, and Polish. More languages will be available soon.

The alternate choices for translated words is a nice feature. Good find.

I did not know that, but I compiled the pdf to odt on my own. On MX site there is very weakly information about making translations, just some email addresses.
