So, how can we actually implement DeepL into our operations?
It is important to consider security when implementing. There are many free automatic translation services available on the internet, but most free services do not guarantee confidentiality. DeepL is no exception.
There are two types of services offered by DeepL.
"DeepL Translation" is free, but the privacy policy states that "the input text and its translation will be stored for a certain period for the purpose of enhancing the translation algorithm and improving performance," indicating that the original text and its translation may be repurposed for other purposes.
Translating the contents of business documents containing confidential information using the free version of "DeepL Translation" is highly problematic.
The privacy policy of the paid version of DeepL Pro states that "the input text and translation are not stored on the server and are only used during translation," and the original text and translation are not repurposed for other purposes.
When a company uses DeepL to translate confidential information, it is essential to contract with DeepL and use DeepL Pro.

How to use DeepL Pro?
In addition to subscribing to the aforementioned "DeepL Pro", there is the option to use an automatic translation tool that integrates with "DeepL Pro".
With the automatic translation product "MTrans for Office" integrated with DeepL, you can utilize DeepL without the risk of information leakage due to API connections.
