Companies and experts can use DeepL to define specifications for translations. The Cologne-based company offers a glossary function for this purpose. In a press release, DeepL explains: "With the integration of glossaries in DeepL, companies ensure that the language AI and the company's employees can quickly and easily use the right phrases and wordings for specific translations – always in line with the company's own individual specifications."
To create a glossary, it is now sufficient to upload existing translations that have already been checked and approved (TMX, DOCX, PDF). The glossary is then generated automatically – but only for paying subscribers. Of course, glossaries can also be created and edited individually. The glossaries can be used via the browser version, extensions and the apps for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, for example. Glossaries not only offer translations of words, but also automatic adaptation of the entire sentence. This should minimize the amount of post-editing required. DeepL says that in tests, its own translations required around 20 percent less post-editing than translations with GPT-4 and 30 percent less than with Google Translate.

Glossaries should also help to improve the consistency and accuracy of translations. In addition to automatic generation, further language combinations will be available in future: Korean, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Romanian are new. The glossaries will then be available in a total of 16 languages.
Companies rely on automatic translations
"AI-powered translations are essential for companies that want to overcome language barriers in today's increasingly connected world. With the powerful glossary feature of DeepL, they can go one step further and tailor translations to their individual terminology and requirements," says Christopher Osborne, Product Owner at DeepL. According to DeepL, the company has more than 100,000 customers from the corporate and government sectors. The translation function is also available free of charge on the web. Also according to the company, consistent branding increases sales by 20 percent and can increase brand awareness by three to four times.
With DeepL Pro, the paid version, the data is processed exclusively on the company's own servers. These comply with the current certification and data protection standards – and are therefore GDPR-compliant.
