The automatic translation service provided by DeepL has been expanded to include Japanese and Chinese in March.
In previous articles, it has been shown that DeepL has high quality in business emails and medical translations.
So, how can we actually introduce DeepL into our business?
It is important to consider security when implementing. While there are many free automatic translation services available on the internet, most of them do not guarantee confidentiality. DeepL is no exception.
There are two types of services available on DeepL:
"DeepL Translation" is free, but the privacy policy states that "the input text and its translation will be stored for a certain period of time for the purpose of improving and enhancing the translation algorithm," indicating that the original text and translated text may be used for other purposes.
It is highly problematic to use the free version of "DeepL Translation" to translate the contents of business documents containing confidential information.
The privacy policy for the paid version of DeepL Pro states that "the text entered and the translated text will not be saved on the server and will only be used for translation purposes", and the original and translated texts will not be reused for other purposes.
If a company uses DeepL to translate confidential information, it is necessary to contract with DeepL and use DeepL Pro.

How to use DeepL Pro?
In addition to subscribing to "DeepL Pro" mentioned above, there is also an option to use an automatic translation tool that is integrated with "DeepL Pro".
With the automatic translation product MTrans for Office, which is integrated with DeepL, you can use DeepL without the risk of information leakage through API connections.
This can also lead to a reduction in man-hours as it can be translated with one click from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
