DeepL is a great online translator that allows you to work with 32 languages ​​to translate texts, documents (in PDF, Word, or PowerPoint format), or audio recordings.

With DeepL’s free version, which will be sufficient for many users, you can translate texts of up to 5,000 characters (as many times as you want), in addition to three documents per month.

DeepL also has apps for Mac, iOS and Android mobile devices, and Chrome browser, which allow you to streamline the translation process.

With DeepL's paid versions, there is no limit on text translation, you can perform complete document translations while keeping the original format, and other advanced features are offered. There are several rates starting from 15 euros per month.

The quality of DeepL translations is truly remarkable, making it a tool that we strongly recommend and that can be very useful for all kinds of personal and professional uses.

A few months ago, The Verge published an extensive and captivating interactive special report delving into how the internet has evolved around Google's search algorithm, resulting in a landscape where many websites appear strikingly similar.
