Translate text in Excel with DeepL

!SEMTools Pro feature

DeepL is a translation service based on deep learning and neural networks—something you can guess from its name (Deep Learning).

DeepL is widely regarded as one of the best translators available. Its translation quality matches—and often surpasses—that of major competitors such as Google and Microsoft, whose businesses were originally built around text analysis. The DeepL team makes no secret of this on their website, and it’s hard to disagree—the output often needs little to no additional editing.

DeepL is especially popular among SEO specialists for localizing content. Some even speculate that Google might downrank content translated using its own service, which is another reason to consider third-party solutions.

DeepL also allows you to set the formality of your translations (for languages where this applies, such as the difference between formal and informal address in certain European languages).
