Opinions vs deepl?
I think this is only the case with the free version. Source: I worked with some big German companies which wanted to have an autotranslate function for their software. DeepL was the top choice, because the quality is very good and the data protection agreements for the paid service left no questions.
EULA they collect all what you type there and use it for training their algorithm
This isn't the case for some specific corporate contract for the pro version. But, it's not publicly available.
Interesting thought about the visibility
They have total different use cases. DeepL is a translator, language tool checks for style and grammar.
I use both frequently and both do a very good job. I have a prime membership of language tool and I like it. Both are German companies and operate under GDPR.
Deepl’s “write” tool (the one I linked) gives style suggestions
I didn’t know that.
It's not bad at all, and multilingual. I like it as I can write in multiple language making less mistakes.
off topic: is deepl down or something ? thing doesn't respond :/
edit: now works
