Localization—not to be confused with translation—is the practice of adapting products or content to local languages and cultures. Essential for businesses looking to expand their global reach, content localization allows companies to reach consumers where they’re most comfortable: in their native language.
Recently, DeepL partnered with Regina Corso Consulting to survey marketers in France, Germany, Japan, and the United States who are responsible for translation and localization at their companies. Using the results of this survey, we created the report, The state of translation and localization in 2023-2024: insights, challenges, and opportunities.
In this blog post, we’ll summarize some of the survey’s key findings and explore why localization is one of the most important investments for global companies. Then, to learn why DeepL’s AI translation tool is the ideal helper to speed up localization processes, you can access our full report.
The study—targeted at director-level marketers in companies with over 100 employees—had three main objectives:
Below, you’ll find a selection of the main insights that we uncovered.
For businesses to succeed in international markets and drive growth, they need to create multilingual content—which is why localization plays such an important role in global expansion.
For this report, we wanted to find out, more specifically, how localized content impacts return on investment (ROI). Here’s what we discovered:
Key insight: An overwhelming 96% of respondents reported a positive ROI from localization efforts, and notably, 65% reported an ROI of 3x or greater.
Why it matters: For companies that aren’t sure if they should allocate resources to localization, these figures offer compelling evidence to do so.
AI’s role in content generation has been expanding over the past months. An interesting trend that’s reshaping the localization process, we wanted to know how prevalent the use of AI tools is with today’s marketers.
Key insight: AI-assisted writing tools are used by 77% of respondents, and machine translation by an astonishing 98%.
Why it matters: This isn't a passing trend; it’s the new standard. Businesses slow to adapt risk being overshadowed by those who have integrated these technologies into their localization efforts.
Many marketers wonder if investing in localization is worth the time and effort. What tangible benefits does it boast for businesses to localize new and existing content?
Well, according to our research, increased customer engagement is high on the list.
Key insight: 75% of respondents agreed that localized content significantly boosts customer engagement.
Why it matters: Engaged customers are more likely to become repeat customers, refer your business, and spend more money on products and services.
Even as AI tools become more advanced, human involvement will remain an integral part of a successful content localization strategy. Machine translation isn’t perfect, and a human-in-the-loop approach is the key to success.
Incorporating human review allows companies to ensure all content adheres to their style and quality guidelines.
Key insight: 99% of respondents supplement machine translation with human review.
Why it matters: This underscores the need for a balanced approach that incorporates both technological and human expertise for high-quality outcomes.
While machine translation can speed up the localization process, it still has some weak spots to keep in mind.
Key insight: A significant 82% expressed concerns about accurately translating industry-specific terms.
Why it matters: For industry-specific jargon and vocabulary, companies should consider training custom machine translation models or selecting a machine translator that comes with a glossary feature.
These are just a few of the many insights you can expect from The state of translation and localization in 2023-2024 report. It's the ideal resource for anyone interested in:

If you work in the legal industry, you’ve probably been eyeing the most recent wave of AI adoption with a mixture of interest and apprehension. Are you anticipating (or dreading) the slew of lawsuits that are sure to arise from AI use and misuse? Or wondering how AI will impact your own daily work? Ultimately, as technology evolves, the law needs to keep pace—and with it, legal professionals.
Whatever your view on AI, it’s here to stay. In this article, we’ll explore five of the most game-changing AI tools transforming the legal profession and how they can benefit your law firm. If you’re not using these tools already, we can guarantee that your competition is!
We'll also fill you in on how to vet AI tools suitable for the practice of law and let you know which AI features are most useful for lawyers today.
Not even the often traditionalist field of law is immune to the rise of artificial intelligence. In fact, AI is already becoming a linchpin in the legal field, allowing lawyers to work more efficiently and provide better service to their clients.
AI-based tools can help law firms stay competitive in a constantly evolving global market. Dr. Axel Freiherr von dem Bussche, LL.M. (L.S.E.), CIPP/E, Partner at Taylor Wessing, weighs in:
The bottom line for many lawyers? AI tools can take over some of the mundane and tedious tasks legal professionals dread, freeing up time for more high-value work (and removing a few headaches along the way.)
Let’s take a closer look.
The legal industry is already complex, but when you add international clients and colleagues to the mix, things can get even more complicated. Practicing international law requires an understanding of diverse legal systems and cultures, as well as the ability to keep up with constantly evolving laws and regulations. This can be particularly challenging when there's a language barrier.
As the legal industry continues to become more globalized, law firms are working with an increasing number of international clients. According to a Maia Research report on legal translation software, there is a growing demand for legal translation services, which is currently experiencing 13-15% year-on-year growth.
AI-powered translation tools are useful for providing legally operable translations, such as bilingual contracts, and convenience translations like client communications. However, it's important to note that AI translation shouldn't completely replace human translators. Some official documents require certified or notarized translations that can only be provided by a certified human translator.
For example, when a client is applying for citizenship in a foreign country, they often need to provide a certified translation of their birth certificate and other identification documents. To ensure accuracy, "human-in-the-loop" workflows are crucial to approve AI-generated translations. According to Gartner, solutions that combine staffing and software will account for 30% of all new legal tech automation offerings through 2025.
AI-powered knowledge management systems have revolutionized the legal industry, giving lawyers lightning-fast access to critical information. With these powerful tools, legal professionals can quickly search through vast amounts of data, identify patterns in legal documents, and stay on top of changes in laws and regulations. Best of all, these systems automate tedious processes such as document categorization, saving valuable time and increasing productivity.
Not surprisingly, the use of AI-powered knowledge management systems is on the rise among legal professionals.
One of the key areas where AI is making an impact on legal work today is in contract analysis and management. These tools automate mundane tasks such as document review or tracking deadlines for signed agreements. Lawyers can use AI-driven systems to quickly review contracts and identify potential issues, such as risks associated with certain clauses. These systems also store contracts centrally, making them more accessible and automating error notifications.
AI-enabled contract management tools also provide insights into past cases to help minimize disputes arising from noncompliance with laws or regulations. Natural language processing algorithms are used to detect discrepancies in existing contracts and to suggest ways to mitigate risks. This helps law firms ensure they provide the best service to their clients while remaining competitive in the market.
In the legal field, generative AI is offering a new level of efficiency for document creation. This process entails using AI algorithms to generate documents from templates and structured data sets, as well as analyzing contracts for potential risks or discrepancies. By automating these tedious tasks, lawyers can save time and money while helping their firm remain competitive in the world of advancing AI.
AI-powered document creation also helps reduce errors and spot mistakes quickly—allowing attorneys to better protect their clients' interests during negotiations by identifying potential issues before they become problems down the line. As a result, lawyers can provide more personalized services that meet their clients' needs faster than ever before.
Chatbots are a valuable first point of contact in the client intake process. AI-powered chatbots provide general advice to clients and understand complex questions using natural language processing, directing clients to the information they need instantly.
Chatbots offer 24/7 availability, quickly answering inquiries and FAQs, reducing wait times, and enabling staff members to focus on more detailed queries. Using AI-powered chatbot technology saves time and resources while providing better customer service.
However helpful these tools may be, implementing AI technologies isn't to be taken lightly, as there are certain risks associated with using AI. It's important for firms to understand the implications of deploying AI technologies and make sure that the technology is implemented responsibly. This means establishing protocols regarding data privacy and security when dealing with confidential client data.
Firms should also consider how to use AI responsibly and ethically, such as taking steps to audit machine learning models for bias or instituting a policy that requires the use of AI to be monitored and supervised by a human.
Lawyers must be aware of the evolving legal requirements for AI to give sound counsel regarding its use and to guarantee that the tools they use in their work are foolproof.
The General Data Protection Regulation is a stringent security and privacy regulation. It affects businesses that pursue or store data pertaining to people situated in the European Union. Artificial intelligence that abides by the GDPR requirements can be relied on to honor and safeguard confidential information.
Data encryption scrambles information to create a code that can only be unlocked using an individual password or key. This makes it far more difficult for any unauthorized individuals to access the data. Regulations like GDPR demand that encryption is used to ensure personal information is kept secure.
Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to access various programs and systems with only one set of credentials, eliminating the worry of weak passwords or forgotten login details. This not only saves time, but also helps to secure confidential data from unauthorized access.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of authentication, such as a password and a verification code sent to their phone, before accessing their accounts. This reduces the risk of account takeover and prevents unauthorized access to confidential information.
ISO 27001 is an international standard that helps businesses manage the security of their information systems. By partnering with an ISO 27001-certified provider, law firms can better protect their data and guarantee a high level of security.
Customer research carried out by DeepL in 2023 identified these features as particularly helpful for law firms.

Localization isn't an easy process; it requires time, effort, and a great deal of expertise. However, there are ways to make localization easier and less time-consuming—namely, with AI translation.
Great for localizing everything from your website content to customer support to marketing materials, an AI translation tool like DeepL allows companies to work more efficiently. With higher quality and more accurate machine translations that improve project alignment and lower costs, your company can get a leg up on the competition.
But don’t just take our word for it—ask our customers. In this post, we’ll cover three case studies to see how real DeepL customers used AI translation to enhance their localization processes and take their businesses global.
As the largest railway operator and infrastructure owner in Europe, Deutsche Bahn (DB) has employees all over the continent. Of its 320,000 full-time employees, only 64% are based in Germany—meaning communication across multiple languages is key to DB’s international success.
Thankfully, DB has DeepL to enable seamless communication for its massive, multilingual workforce.
To communicate at scale, DB knew that machine translation technology provided the best solution. However, the company had to overcome its main challenge: highly technical terminology.
In order for employees with different native languages and professions to communicate clearly, the translation would have to account for industry-specific jargon, dialects, and idioms. That’s where DeepL’s glossary really came in handy.
Since integrating DeepL, DB has added more than 30,000 entries to its glossary, allowing DB employees to communicate consistently across the organization. With the power to specify their own translations for words and even entire phrases, DB ensured the use of industry and company-specific vocabulary in all communications.
Additionally, DeepL’s glossaries rely on morphosyntactic terminology integration—meaning that DeepL adapts the formulation of translations based on glossary entries and accounts for factors such as grammatical genders and plurals.
This feature was especially important to Deutsche Bahn, with Tom Winter, Data Scientist & Computational Linguist at DB, saying:
DB has been a satisfied DeepL customer since early 2022 thanks to its best-in-class translation quality, excellent data security, and customizability via its glossary feature.
Going forward, DB is exploring even more instances where machine translation may be able to assist with its railway operations—such as communications with border traffic.
To learn more about how DB uses DeepL, you can check out the case study.
Weglot is a Paris-based SaaS company that provides localization and translation services to clients around the world. With demand for its localization services high, Weglot needed translation APIs of exceptional quality—which made a partnership with DeepL the ideal choice.
As an early adopter of DeepL API, Weglot and its customers have benefited from our accurate, high-quality AI translations since 2018—having already helped over 50,000 companies build multilingual websites.
So, why DeepL? Weglot’s founder and CTO, Rémy Berda, was on the lookout for top-quality language translation APIs to enhance his company’s offerings and services. When customers started asking, “Have you added DeepL?” shortly after our DeepL API release, Berda’s interest was sparked.
Chosen for its ease of use for developers and high-quality translations, over the last six years, DeepL API has helped Weglot translate billions of characters a month for companies all over the world.
Thanks to the accuracy of DeepL’s AI translations, Weglot’s customers save time during their localization processes, which led them to work more efficiently.
Since integrating the API, Weglot received plenty of positive customer feedback thanks to DeepL’s speed and accuracy. In fact, Berda himself recommended DeepL to developers who are looking for a high-performing product that’s true to its word, stating:
As the e-commerce industry becomes more international, it’s crucial that companies of all sizes have access to high-quality localization and translation services. Thanks to translation tools offered by DeepL and Weglot, quick, accurate multilingual communication with customers and markets around the globe is not only possible–it’s easy.

Known as the “Czech Amazon”, Alza is an e-commerce giant with key markets all over Europe—from Czechia to Germany to Hungary. Since its founding in 1994, Alza has grown from an online electronics shop to a complete marketplace, now offering laptops, video games, pet supplies, cosmetics, and more.
In mid-2021, Alza noticed that DeepL added 13 new supported languages, with Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian being the most applicable. After some quality testing, Alza discovered DeepL to be a superior product to their current translation API and quickly made the switch.
Since then, Alza has been using DeepL to localize its website into five different European languages:
With over 3,000 employees, Alza is growing rapidly—at 20% annually—and recently expanded to Central Europe and the UK. To thrive in these new markets, Alza needed access to high quality translations that wouldn’t overburden its localization team with manual corrections.
Thanks to DeepL’s superior translation quality, Alza saved thousands of euros per month in operating costs, as the brand’s human proofreaders spent significantly less time correcting DeepL translations—and could focus on higher-impact projects.
Additionally, the migration from Alza’s previous translation API to DeepL took less than one week, and the effect was immediate.
In the words of Jakub Kalina, head of Alza’s localization team:
Specifically, Alza used DeepL to translate large volumes of reviews, which provided quality assurance for potential customers. Having translated thousands of reviews from Czech into German and Hungarian, Alza saw a significant increase in its conversion rate.
As for what’s next, Jakub also foresees a high-volume future for his team:
Check out our Alza case study to learn more about how the Czech e-commerce giant uses DeepL to grow.
Clearly, DeepL’s high-quality, accurate AI translations are a contributing factor to these three companies’ successful localization processes.
Reducing time spent on manual work, improving alignment, and driving down costs, DeepL continues to help streamline DB, Weglot, and Alza’s localization projects to reach global audiences—and we could do the same for your business.

In a rapidly expanding global economy, effective cross-cultural communication has become more important than ever. For many organizations, a document that used to exist in a singular language now has multilingual requirements. Not fulfilling these requirements has consequences—namely, slower global growth, lower customer satisfaction, and decreased reach.
However, thanks to the increasing use of AI-powered translation software, companies are meeting these challenges head on and experiencing a new era of productivity, speed, and efficiency for document translation.
In this post, we’ll discuss the integral role of machine translation in global business expansion. Then, we’ll explain why AI translation tools like DeepL are the go-to solution for global companies looking to boost efficiency, enhance customer satisfaction, and improve return on investment (ROI).
For businesses, the benefits of machine translation are far-reaching. Organizations across countless industries are recognizing the important role machine translation plays in everything from internal communications to localization strategies to document translation.
With automotive, healthcare, IT, and legal industries leading the way, AI-powered translation tools are spearheading international growth. According to a recent market forecast from Acumen Research and Consulting, machine translation will see a steady increase in use over the next eight years, with a key driver being new demand for multilingual communication.
From technical information to customer communications, AI is reshaping the translation landscape. In fact, the European Language Industry Survey 2022 found that more than 70% of independent language professionals in Europe report using machine translation to some extent, demonstrating the technology's expanding footprint.
Clearly, machine translation plays a vital role in organizations’ global expansion plans. But what are companies looking for when choosing an AI translation solution? Let’s discuss.
When searching for a solution to their document translation needs, quality remains a critical factor for companies. In this regard, highly-trained AI shines.
According to a recent survey from Unbabel, 83% of marketers using machine translation in their localization strategies expressed confidence in the quality of the translations. Furthermore, the highest quality translations were found in content with heavy documentation and technical terms—especially in sectors such as computer software, legal services, and telecommunications.
This indicates that AI-powered solutions like DeepL possess real potential to improve translation accuracy and speed in these, and other, industries. This, in turn, will allow international companies to grow and expand more efficiently.
When it comes to document translation, there are a few features and capabilities you should be on the lookout for. First, there’s speed and ease.
Here, DeepL excels by providing an easy-to-use, real-time online document translator. With DeepL Pro, you can transform your PDFs, Word Docs, PPTs, and more into 30+ languages with a single click—all while preserving their original format.
Next, there’s accuracy and security. Be it internal reports, legal contracts, user manuals, or any other business document, DeepL’s AI-powered translation is an accurate, high-quality solution that prioritizes data security.
With state-of-the-art transport layer security (TLS) encrypted data transmissions and a completely in-house PDF translation process, you and your team can rest assured that your translated documents are both accurate and secure.
DeepL’s document translation feature helps foster meaningful communication between colleagues, teams, and offices, regardless of their language skills. And with the ability to translate documents at scale with DeepL Pro, you can ensure everyone is on the same page.
Return on investment can be a tricky metric to track with 100% accuracy. However, it’s still an important calculation to take into account when evaluating the relative efficacy and success of different projects.
Here, AI translation solutions can improve companies’ ROI—not only in terms of cost, but also in terms of time.
Whether you need to translate a document from German to English or French to Japanese, an AI translation tool’s ability to perform real-time translations is a game changer. Often, it eliminates the need for multiple revisions and ensures that companies can communicate effectively cross-culturally.
In the race to expand globally, companies can and should rely on AI tools to translate large volumes of text and complex documents—making the process efficient and less daunting. So, which companies are already using DeepL to go global? We’ll cover that next.
At DeepL, we’re honored to support global leaders in important industries such as media with our AI-powered translations.
Let’s take a look at how Nikkei uses DeepL Pro to get a leg up on the competition.
For Japan’s premier news media company, Nikkei, AI translation is more than just a tool—it's a critical part of the organization’s workflow. As the world’s largest provider of business news, Nikkei reaches a readership that spans the globe.
With publications such as Nikkei Asia and the Financial Times, Nikkei’s content is consumed by thousands of global leaders in economics and finance.
Given the nature of its work in the media sector, Nikkei deals with a high volume of content that needs to be made available to a global audience. In order to share news and reports quickly and accurately, Nikkei needed an AI document and content translation solution like DeepL.
Using DeepL’s AI-powered translation, Nikkei is able to distribute information faster, keeping its audience informed in real time. Whether it's news reports or research papers, AI translation has significantly increased the speed at which Nikkei can serve its global readership.
Additionally, DeepL is one-fifth of the cost to Nikkei’s previous translation system and is more accurate—which has allowed Nikkei to work more efficiently and save on operating costs.
Read the full case study for even more insights into how Nikkei uses DeepL.
For companies looking to grow on a global scale, seamless multilingual communication is a requirement. Thankfully, AI translation tools like DeepL provide the accuracy, speed, and security international organizations need to expand quickly and intelligently.

Although they may seem similar at first glance, translation and localization are distinct processes that serve different purposes. While the former transforms a text from one language into another, the latter takes the process a step further by focusing on a target market, thereby adapting the translated text to cultural, linguistic, and structural differences.
In essence, translation is an integral part of the longer and more intricate localization process. Ultimately, translation and localization work very well together—especially when utilizing AI translation.
Unlike manual human translation, AI translation is an automated machine learning process that provides highly accurate, instant translations. Thanks to their speed and accuracy, AI translation tools fit very well into the localization process and can even be used to streamline workflows and increase efficiency.
So whether you’re interested in reaching new global markets or improving customer satisfaction, localization allows your company to meet customers where they’re most comfortable: in their native language.
In this post, we’ll discuss what differentiates translation and localization, as well as explore how AI translation can enhance, simplify, and accelerate the localization process to increase customer loyalty and satisfaction.
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: read on.
In its simplest form, translation is the transformation of text from one language to another that preserves the meaning and purpose of the original text. By contrast, our own localization specialists define localization as a more complex process that aims at adapting a product or a service to the needs of a specific market.
When successfully localizing a product or text for a specific market, we should consider more than just cultural or linguistic characteristics. Rather, we should also consider changes at the structural level. Great localization happens when a product or service feels like it's been designed specifically for its target market—not as though it's simply been modified.
Keep in mind, content can’t be localized properly if it hasn’t first been translated well. This is where AI translation provides an ideal solution.
Usually, AI translation tools use deep neural networks to provide accurate and human-sounding translations. Overall, AI translation is a far more advanced, efficient option for companies that require high-quality translations at scale as a part of their localization processes.
In fact, according to a recent survey run by Regina Corso Consulting for DeepL’s own research*, we found that “87% of marketers agree that machine translation is an indispensable tool for localization/translation projects.”
So, if you’re looking to extend your company’s reach to a global audience, you might be wondering: how can localization help my company succeed internationally? Good question, that’s what we’ll cover next.
Described by localization tool Phrase as "a bold undertaking that goes beyond the mere translation of text,” language localization “includes modifying a range of aspects to local preferences, expectations, and conventions.”
An involved process that requires attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the culture and preferences of the target language, localization is essential for companies looking to succeed in new markets.
According to a recent survey from CSA Research, “76% of online shoppers prefer to buy products with information in their native language,” while another 75% report that they’re "more likely to purchase [from] the same brand again if customer care is in their language.”
In the words of Dr. Donald A. DePalma of CSA Research, “Localization improves customer experience and increases engagement in the brand dialogue. It should be a rigorously planned and executed business strategy for any company looking to grow internationally.”
Clearly, localization plays a significant role in modern companies’ global success, from attracting new customers to retaining existing ones—and the benefits of quality localization are far-reaching. In fact, a recent article from Weglot highlighted marketing firm Net Media Planet’s success thanks to localization, with the company experiencing “a 20% increase in conversions after localizing its content and paid ads.”
From gaining a competitive edge to increasing customer satisfaction and revenue, providing localized content to potential customers increases a company's chances of success in new markets.
By now, the differences between translation and localization should be clear—which means we’re ready to dive into what localization can look like in practice. Let’s consider the following examples of situations that require more than just translation:
Consider the following situation: A U.S.-based e-commerce company has recently expanded into the European market, and, as a result, its content and communication needs have evolved.
Its website then needs to be adapted to multiple languages to fit new market requirements. Thus, the following sentence about a global sale must be translated from American English to German:
AI translation might provide the following output:
While this is an acceptable straight-through translation, a localized version would consider the fact that the German language uses a 24-hour time format. The localized version of this translation would read:
Small changes like this may seem nit-picky, but they add up to make a real difference. For example, without proper localization in the above example, German customers could have misunderstood the timeline and missed out on the sale—which means lost revenue for the company and frustration for potential customers looking to save.
These types of changes create more accurate content and a better overall user experience. As Phrase explains, proper localization also allows companies to “overcome cultural obstacles and . . . avoid potential cultural faux pas that could be detrimental to your brand image.”
When it comes to localizing content, companies' needs are varied and situational. The to-do list may include:
The materials and content a company chooses to localize are up to its discretion, reach, and capacity, but developing a detailed localization strategy is always a smart approach. A truly high-quality localization strategy prioritizes efficiency—which is where AI translation really shines.
There are many ways in which AI translation positively impacts localization efforts, with some tools providing more advantages than others. When using DeepL, the top four benefits are:
Your company can enjoy more efficient workflows if your localization team isn’t translating from scratch but, instead, using DeepL’s AI translation as a jumping-off point. This approach allows for speedier, more streamlined project delivery.
When you save time in the translation process, your localization team can produce more work. This allows them to get more done in less time, which can also increase profitability and ROI.
Ensuring localized texts are accurate is a lot of work. When you harness the power of a high-quality AI translation tool such as DeepL, your localization team benefits from more accurate, nuanced translations—meaning there’s less for them to edit, leading to better overall quality.
Manual translation provides high-quality results, but often requires a lot of coordination and time. Ensuring company-wide alignment of translation and localization processes is always difficult—especially when companies work with external translation providers or rely on the in-house, unofficial language skills of colleagues.
However, it’s much easier when all localization teams rely on the same method of translation and can specify industry- or company-specific terms via handy glossary features. Such features can reduce coordination time and help maintain a consistent voice and tone in all locales, which define “the language and region preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface”.
Even with all these benefits in mind, it's important to note that AI translation is only one step in the localization process. While it’s designed to improve alignment and speed up the process, it doesn’t replace true localization efforts.
Instead, AI translation tools like DeepL should be used in combination with localization for the best results.
For companies both big and small, DeepL’s AI translation is the go-to solution for streamlining localization efforts and strengthening customer loyalty across language barriers.
Remember, the best AI translation tools are flexible and easily integrated into existing platforms and tooling—meaning they improve localization processes without adding more hassle to the workday. From easy-to-use API integrations to convenient SSO login capabilities, high-quality AI translation tools make all the difference for companies working to bring their business to the world.

The advances made in AI technology over the past few years have been astonishing, and there’s no doubt that AI will continue to evolve. However, to do so responsibly, proper data security and data privacy management must remain a top priority.
A recent article from World Economic Forum underscores this issue, stating: “As AI models depend on data quality to deliver salient results, their continued existence hinges on privacy protection being integral to their design.”
With AI’s diverse and growing application in the business world, companies that adopt AI need to be more informed than ever about proper data protection measures.
In this post, we’ll discuss why DeepL Pro is the best option for both first-rate translation quality as well as the highest standards of data security and compliance for your company.
As a leading AI communication tool, DeepL provides high-quality AI translations for thousands of companies around the world to help them get ahead of the competition—but it's not just first-rate translations that set DeepL apart.
Dr. Benedikt Kohn, an associate at the global law firm Taylor Wessing, explains—modern businesses must understand that “AI relies on the processing of huge amounts of data. And sometimes . . . even the most personal data.” To protect this sensitive information, data protection must be considered “first and foremost” when evaluating AI software.
By providing customers with optimal data protection without sacrificing quality, DeepL has become the AI communication tool of choice for companies that want to streamline processes and gain a competitive edge in their industry.
To ensure top-notch data security, DeepL servers are controlled exclusively by DeepL SE and operated in ISO 27001-certified data centers with excellent security measures. DeepL does its utmost to protect its servers and ensure that no one can gain unauthorized access.
Unlike in cloud-based environments, this setup guarantees that DeepL retains full control over all your data from start to finish. With this approach, your sensitive data can be securely processed via DeepL’s software.
Additionally, all texts from Pro subscribers are deleted after translation—meaning they aren’t stored permanently but only for the duration of translation, then deleted. Plus, Pro subscribers’ texts are never used to train DeepL's AI models.
As an EU-based company, DeepL complies with all GDPR regulations concerning:
Alongside GDPR compliance, DeepL Pro users also enjoy enterprise-level data security and state-of-the-art transport layer security (TLS) encrypted data transmissions. Moreover, DeepL's cipher suites—which are a set of algorithms that secure a network connection—are regularly reviewed and updated.
To further assess the security of its infrastructure and applications, DeepL’s internal security team conducts regular penetration testing with the help of external specialists. All findings are followed up by DeepL’s compliance team to constantly increase the security of DeepL. This ensures only authorized users can access sensitive data and all personally identifiable information remains secure.
Thanks to DeepL’s excellent data security, full GDPR compliance, and high-quality translations, companies can maximize productivity and reduce costs—all while maintaining the highest level of protection for their sensitive data.
DeepL not only provides high-quality translations, but it also delivers extremely reliable service. All DeepL Pro services are redundant—meaning availability is ensured thanks to additional or alternate uplinks. They’re also protected by automatic failover mechanisms—a process which moves applications to standby servers in the case of a failure to preserve data availability.
In plain terms, these safety features ensure trouble-free, consistent data availability from DeepL—which helps companies streamline their workflows and operate more efficiently.
Whenever possible, DeepL avoids involving subcontractors—since it can be more difficult to maintain full visibility and control when third parties are involved in data processing. For example, DeepL recently moved the processing of PDF translation completely in-house, removing any third-party involvement.
If deemed necessary, qualified subcontractors are carefully selected and audited according to ISO 27001 policies. This approach allows DeepL to retain tight control over who is accessing information—keeping your sensitive data out of the wrong hands.
In a recent sit-down conversation for the DeepL AI Talks series, Dr. Axel Freiherr von dem Bussche, a partner at Taylor Wessing, touched on how DeepL's security measures protect data and benefit its customers, stating:
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the predicted global annual cost of cybercrime in 2023 alone will amount to $8 trillion USD (€7.29 trillion). This means that protecting data with proper data security measures, like those used by DeepL, is more important than ever before—and could play a vital role in your company's overall success.
That’s also why, on the user’s side, DeepL adheres to the “principle of least privilege.” This means that Pro account admins can easily control all team members’ access levels. This approach allows admins to:
Knowing that the data protection measures in place will keep their sensitive information secure and encourage efficient usage, Pro users can integrate DeepL into their workflows with total confidence.
Industries that prioritize data protection, proper data management, and GDPR compliance routinely adopt DeepL Pro as their AI communication tool of choice.
For this reason, many of DeepL’s customers are industry leaders who demand the highest levels of data protection alongside world-class quality, such as:
In the words of Dr. Freiherr von dem Bussche from Taylor Wessing, with DeepL, companies benefit "from the German/EU gold standards" of data protection, which allow them to “roll out products globally more easily.”
Additionally, since DeepL’s translation AI has been trained using official, public EU documents, it’s able to provide the highest quality outputs. This is especially important for certain industries—such as legal, manufacturing, and governmental organizations—where technical terminology can prove difficult to translate.
As AI continues to transform the way the world works, data protection must remain at the forefront of all decisions on how to responsibly adopt and integrate AI. DeepL strives to not only meet but exceed its users’ expectations with its data protection strategies and translation quality—and is committed to doing so as AI technology changes and develops in the years to come.
Uniquely positioned to keep users’ sensitive information secure, DeepL is the best choice for privacy-conscious companies.
If your business wants to benefit from DeepL’s first-rate translations and unparalleled data protection, you can learn more at DeepL Pro for Business.
Accessibility is an integral part of how we develop and test products at DeepL. This year, we are celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day on May 18 by looking back at our ongoing accessibility improvements and achievements at DeepL since our update last year, starting with our Accessibility Statement. While improving accessibility is a long-term process, we’ve made some significant strides, and our improvements will continue as our product offerings grow and mature.
Accessibility is not only limited to how users interact with the final product or feature e.g. DeepL Translator for desktop, or our Android mobile app, but also in how and with whom we conduct testing.
This past year, we continued to diversify our testing pool, working closely with visually impaired testers who use screen magnification technologies, alternative color schemes (this allows us to comply with certain operating systems, like Windows, where users can select between multiple themes with higher contrasts), and various screen readers. Furthermore, we made sure to include testers who were dependent on alternative navigation methods, like voice control software. We used the feedback from these tests to help improve readability and control when using DeepL products.
In addition to adding to our diverse tester pool, we’ve maintained a regular frequency of our tests. Since April 2022, we’ve conducted five tests per month, and we continue to use Fable Engage as our user testing platform. We highlighted this platform in our 2022 accessibility blog post, but we feel it’s worth reiterating what it does as well as the impact that it has on our users:
Last year, our scores trended at 90 or higher. While the overall score fluctuates depending on our test results, we are proud to say that our score typically hovers around the same number. That said, when our score drops, it is a clear indicator that we still have room for improvement when it comes to both accessibility and usability.
What happens when accessibility issues are flagged to us? Our team treats them as bugs, and a ticket is created for each issue. It’s our goal to resolve these as quickly as possible, and we are proud to say that in the last 300 days, our engineering team solved 63 tickets related to accessibility.
Working closely with several teams at DeepL, particularly with those who help develop and improve customer-facing products, we make accessibility a top priority, ensuring that we keep it top-of-mind for all teams at our organization.
Although we are always aiming to improve our products, we also want to recognize the efforts of our team and highlight positive feedback from our testers. Here are a few quotes from a few people who enjoyed using our language selection tool when translating:
At the time of the last blog post (April 2022), we were only testing the desktop web translator. Now, we’ve extended our testing to all other products to include:
Not all are as accessible as the web app, but we continue to improve every year.
Accessibility is an integral part of our product development process and a quality criteria throughout all our teams. We are proud of how far we’ve come but promise to prioritize accessibility for all users as we move forward.
If you ever have any feedback on our products, we’d love to hear from you. Thank you so much for continuing to use and help us improve our products and features each year.

如果你在法律行业工作,你可能已经带着兴趣和担忧的混合情绪关注着最近的人工智能采用浪潮。你是否预计(或害怕)人工智能的使用和误用肯定会引发大量诉讼?或者想知道AI将如何影响你自己的日常工作?最终,随着技术的发展,法律需要跟上步伐——法律专业人士也需要跟上步伐。
无论你对人工智能有什么看法,它都会一直存在。在本文中,我们将探索五种最能改变游戏规则的人工智能工具,它们将改变法律职业,以及它们如何让你的律师事务所受益。如果您还没有使用这些工具,我们可以保证您的竞争对手正在使用!
我们还将向您介绍如何审查适合法律实践的人工智能工具,并让您知道哪些人工智能功能对当今的律师最有用。
即使是通常传统的法律领域也不能幸免于人工智能的兴起。事实上,人工智能已经成为法律领域的关键,让律师更有效地工作,为客户提供更好的服务。
基于人工智能的工具可以帮助律师事务所在不断发展的全球市场中保持竞争力。阿克塞尔·弗赖赫尔·冯·德姆·布舍博士,法学硕士。(L.S.E。),CIPP/E,Taylor Wessing律师事务所合伙人,称:
很多律师的底线?人工智能工具可以接管法律专业人士害怕的一些平凡而乏味的任务,腾出时间从事更高价值的工作(并消除一些令人头疼的问题)
让我们仔细看看。
法律行业已经很复杂了,但是当你把国际客户和同事加入其中时,事情会变得更加复杂。实践国际法需要了解不同的法律体系和文化,以及跟上不断发展的法律法规的能力。当有语言障碍时,这尤其具有挑战性。
随着法律行业日益全球化,律师事务所与越来越多的国际客户合作。根据Maia关于法律翻译软件的研究报告,对法律翻译服务的需求不断增长,目前正经历13-15%的同比增长。
人工智能驱动的翻译工具对于提供合法可操作的翻译非常有用,如双语合同,以及便利的翻译,如客户通信。然而,需要注意的是,人工智能翻译不应该完全取代人类翻译。一些官方文件需要经过认证或公证的翻译,这些翻译只能由经过认证的人工翻译提供。
例如,当客户在外国申请公民身份时,他们通常需要提供其出生证明和其他身份证明文件的认证翻译。为了确保准确性,“人在回路”的工作流程对于批准人工智能生成的翻译至关重要。根据Gartner的数据,到2025年,结合人员和软件的解决方案将占所有新法律技术自动化产品的30%。
人工智能驱动的知识管理系统彻底改变了法律行业,让律师能够以闪电般的速度访问关键信息。借助这些强大的工具,法律专业人员可以快速搜索大量数据,识别法律文档中的模式,并掌握法律法规的变化。最重要的是,这些系统自动化了文档分类等繁琐的流程,节省了宝贵的时间并提高了生产率。
毫不奇怪,人工智能驱动的知识管理系统在法律专业人士中的使用正在增加。
人工智能对当今法律工作产生影响的一个关键领域是合同分析和管理。这些工具自动执行日常任务,如文档审查或跟踪已签署协议的截止日期。律师可以使用人工智能驱动的系统来快速审查合同并识别潜在问题,例如与某些条款相关的风险。这些系统还集中存储合同,使它们更容易访问,并自动发出错误通知。
人工智能支持的合同管理工具还提供了对过去案例的洞察,以帮助最大限度地减少因不遵守法律或法规而产生的争议。自然语言处理算法用于检测现有合同中的差异,并提出降低风险的方法。这有助于律师事务所确保为客户提供最佳服务,同时保持市场竞争力。
在法律领域,生成式人工智能为文档创建提供了新的效率水平。这个过程需要使用人工智能算法从模板和结构化数据集生成文档,以及分析合同的潜在风险或差异。通过自动化这些繁琐的任务,律师可以节省时间和金钱,同时帮助他们的公司在推进人工智能的世界中保持竞争力。
人工智能驱动的文档创建也有助于减少错误并快速发现错误——允许律师在谈判中通过在潜在问题成为问题之前识别它们来更好地保护客户的利益。因此,律师可以提供更个性化的服务,比以往任何时候都更快地满足客户的需求。
聊天机器人是客户接纳过程中有价值的第一接触点。人工智能聊天机器人为客户提供一般建议,并使用自然语言处理理解复杂的问题,引导客户立即找到他们需要的信息。
聊天机器人提供24/7可用性,快速回答查询和常见问题,减少等待时间,并使员工能够专注于更详细的查询。使用人工智能聊天机器人技术可以节省时间和资源,同时提供更好的客户服务。
无论这些工具有多有用,实施人工智能技术都不能掉以轻心,因为使用人工智能存在一定的风险。对于公司来说,理解部署人工智能技术的含义并确保该技术得到负责任的实施是很重要的。这意味着在处理机密客户数据时,要建立有关数据隐私和安全的协议。
公司还应该考虑如何负责任地、合乎道德地使用人工智能,例如采取措施审计机器学习模型的偏见,或者制定一项政策,要求人工智能的使用由人类监控和监督。
律师必须了解人工智能不断发展的法律要求,以便就其使用提供合理的建议,并保证他们在工作中使用的工具是万无一失的。
《一般数据保护条例》是一项严格的安全和隐私条例。它会影响追踪或存储欧盟人员相关数据的企业。可以依靠遵守GDPR要求的人工智能来尊重和保护机密信息。
数据加密对信息进行打乱,以创建一个只能使用单独的密码或密钥解锁的代码。这使得任何未经授权的个人访问数据变得更加困难。像GDPR这样的法规要求使用加密来确保个人信息的安全。
单点登录(SSO)允许用户仅使用一组凭据访问各种程序和系统,消除了对弱密码或忘记登录详细信息的担忧。这不仅节省了时间,而且有助于保护机密数据免受未经授权的访问。
双因素身份验证(2FA)通过要求用户在访问其帐户之前提供两种形式的身份验证,如发送到其手机的密码和验证码,增加了一层额外的安全性。这降低了帐户被接管的风险,并防止未经授权访问机密信息。
ISO 27001是帮助企业管理其信息系统安全性的国际标准。通过与ISO 27001认证的提供商合作,律师事务所可以更好地保护他们的数据并保证高水平的安全性。
DeepL在2023年进行的客户研究发现,这些功能对律师事务所特别有帮助。

本地化不是一个容易的过程;这需要时间、努力和大量的专业知识。然而,有一些方法可以让本地化变得更容易、更省时——即人工智能翻译。
像DeepL这样的人工智能翻译工具非常适合本地化从网站内容到客户支持再到营销材料的一切,可以让公司更有效地工作。借助更高质量和更准确的机器翻译,提高项目一致性并降低成本,您的公司可以在竞争中占据优势。
但是不要只相信我们的话,问问我们的客户。在本帖中,我们将涵盖三个案例研究,看看真正的DeepL客户如何使用人工智能翻译来增强他们的本地化流程,并使他们的业务全球化。
作为欧洲最大的铁路运营商和基础设施所有者,德国铁路公司(DB)的员工遍布欧洲大陆。在其320,000名全职员工中,只有64%在德国,这意味着跨语言沟通是DB国际成功的关键。
幸运的是,DB拥有DeepL,可以为其庞大的多语言员工实现无缝通信。
为了进行大规模交流,DB知道机器翻译技术提供了最佳解决方案。然而,该公司必须克服其主要挑战:高度技术性的术语。
为了让母语和职业不同的员工能够清晰地交流,翻译必须考虑到特定行业的行话、方言和习语。这就是DeepL的词汇表真正派上用场的地方。
自从集成DeepL以来,DB已经在其词汇表中添加了30,000多个条目,使DB员工能够在整个组织内进行一致的交流。DB能够为单词甚至整个短语指定自己的翻译,确保在所有通信中使用行业和公司特定的词汇。
此外,DeepL的词汇表依赖于形态句法术语整合,这意味着DeepL根据词汇表条目调整翻译的表述,并考虑语法性别和复数等因素。
这一功能对德国铁路公司尤其重要,DB的数据科学家和计算语言学家Tom Winter说:
自2022年初以来,DB一直是DeepL的满意客户,这要归功于其一流的翻译质量、出色的数据安全性以及通过词汇表功能的可定制性。
展望未来,DB正在探索更多机器翻译可能有助于其铁路运营的实例,例如与边境交通的通信。

被称为“捷克亚马逊”的Alza是一家电子商务巨头,主要市场遍布欧洲——从捷克到德国到匈牙利。自1994年成立以来,Alza已经从一个在线电子商店发展成为一个完整的市场,现在提供笔记本电脑、视频游戏、宠物用品、化妆品等。
2021年年中,Alza注意到DeepL增加了13种新的支持语言,捷克语、斯洛伐克语和匈牙利语是最适用的。经过一些质量测试后,Alza发现DeepL是比他们当前的翻译API更好的产品,并很快做出了改变。
此后,Alza一直使用DeepL将其网站本地化为五种不同的欧洲语言:
Alza拥有3000多名员工,正以每年20%的速度快速增长,最近还扩展到了中欧和英国。为了在这些新市场蓬勃发展,Alza需要获得高质量的翻译,而不会让其本地化团队因手动修改而负担过重。
由于DeepL卓越的翻译质量,Alza每月节省了数千欧元的运营成本,因为该品牌的人工校对人员花在纠正DeepL翻译上的时间大大减少,并且可以专注于影响更大的项目。
此外,从Alza以前的翻译API迁移到DeepL只花了不到一周的时间,效果立竿见影。
用Alza本地化团队负责人Jakub Kalina的话说:
具体来说,Alza使用DeepL翻译大量评论,为潜在客户提供质量保证。在将数千篇评论从捷克语翻译成德语和匈牙利语后,Alza的转化率大幅提高。
至于下一步,Jakub还预测了他的团队的高产量未来:

然而,由于人工智能翻译软件的使用越来越多,公司正在正面迎接这些挑战,并经历一个文档翻译生产力、速度和效率的新时代。
在本帖中,我们将讨论机器翻译在全球业务扩张中不可或缺的作用。然后,我们将解释为什么像DeepL这样的人工智能翻译工具是寻求提高效率、增强客户满意度和改善投资回报(ROI)的全球公司的首选解决方案。
对于企业来说,机器翻译的好处是深远的。无数行业的组织都认识到机器翻译在从内部通信到本地化策略再到文档翻译的方方面面发挥的重要作用。
随着汽车、医疗保健、IT和法律行业的引领,人工智能驱动的翻译工具正在引领国际增长。根据Acumen Research and Consulting最近的市场预测,机器翻译的使用将在未来八年内稳步增长,主要驱动力是对多语言通信的新需求。
从技术信息到客户沟通,人工智能正在重塑翻译格局。事实上,2022年欧洲语言行业调查发现,欧洲超过70%的独立语言专业人士报告在某种程度上使用机器翻译,表明该技术的足迹正在扩大。
显然,机器翻译在组织的全球扩张计划中起着至关重要的作用。但是公司在选择AI翻译解决方案时,在寻找什么呢?大家讨论一下。
在寻找文档翻译需求的解决方案时,质量仍然是公司的一个关键因素。在这方面,训练有素的AI大放异彩。
根据Unbabel最近的一项调查,83%在本地化策略中使用机器翻译的营销人员对翻译质量表示有信心。此外,最高质量的翻译出现在包含大量文档和技术术语的内容中,尤其是在计算机软件、法律服务和电信等领域。
这表明,像DeepL这样的人工智能解决方案拥有真正的潜力来提高这些和其他行业的翻译准确性和速度。反过来,这将使国际公司更有效地发展和扩张。

虽然乍一看它们似乎很相似,但翻译和本地化是服务于不同目的的不同过程。前者将文本从一种语言转换成另一种语言,而后者则更进一步,专注于目标市场,从而使翻译文本适应文化、语言和结构差异。
从本质上讲,翻译是漫长而复杂的本地化过程中不可或缺的一部分。最终,翻译和本地化可以很好地协同工作——尤其是在利用人工智能翻译的时候。
与人工翻译不同,人工智能翻译是一种自动化的机器学习过程,可以提供高度准确的即时翻译。由于其速度和准确性,人工智能翻译工具非常适合本地化过程,甚至可以用来简化工作流程和提高效率。
因此,无论您是对开拓新的全球市场感兴趣,还是对提高客户满意度感兴趣,本地化都可以让您的公司在客户最舒适的地方与他们见面:用他们的母语。
在本帖中,我们将讨论翻译和本地化的区别,以及探索人工智能翻译如何增强、简化和加速本地化过程,以提高客户忠诚度和满意度。
简而言之:是的。更长的回答:继续读下去。
最简单的形式,翻译是文本从一种语言到另一种语言的转换,保留了原文的意义和目的。相比之下,我们自己的本地化专家将本地化定义为一个更复杂的过程,旨在使产品或服务适应特定市场的需求。
当成功地为特定市场本地化产品或文本时,我们应该考虑的不仅仅是文化或语言特征。相反,我们还应该考虑结构层面的变化。当一个产品或服务感觉像是专门为其目标市场设计的,而不是简单地修改过的时候,伟大的本地化就发生了。
请记住,如果内容没有被很好地翻译,它就不能被正确地本地化。这就是人工智能翻译提供理想解决方案的地方。
通常,人工智能翻译工具使用深度神经网络来提供准确和听起来像人类的翻译。总的来说,对于需要大规模高质量翻译作为本地化流程一部分的公司来说,人工智能翻译是一种更先进、更高效的选择。
事实上,根据Regina Corso Consulting最近为DeepL自己的研究*进行的一项调查,我们发现“87%的营销人员同意机器翻译是本地化/翻译项目不可或缺的工具。”
因此,如果你想把你的公司扩展到全球受众,你可能会想:本地化如何帮助我的公司在国际上取得成功?好问题,这就是我们接下来要讨论的内容。
被本地化工具短语描述为“一项大胆的事业,超越了单纯的文本翻译”,语言本地化“包括修改一系列方面,以适应当地的偏好、期望和惯例。”
本地化是一个复杂的过程,需要关注细节,透彻理解目标语言的文化和偏好,对于希望在新市场取得成功的公司来说至关重要。
根据CSA Research最近的一项调查,“76%的网上购物者更喜欢购买带有母语信息的产品”,而另有75%的人表示,“如果客户服务是用母语进行的,他们更有可能再次购买同一品牌的产品。”
用CSA Research的Donald A.DePalma博士的话说,“本地化改善了客户体验,增加了品牌对话的参与度。对于任何寻求国际化发展的公司来说,这都应该是一个经过严格规划和执行的商业战略。”
显然,本地化在现代公司的全球成功中扮演着重要的角色,从吸引新客户到留住现有客户——高质量本地化的好处是深远的。事实上,Weglot最近的一篇文章强调了营销公司Net Media Planet的成功归功于本地化,该公司经历了“在本地化其内容和付费广告后,转化率增加了20%”。
从获得竞争优势到提高客户满意度和收入,向潜在客户提供本地化内容增加了公司在新市场取得成功的机会。
到目前为止,翻译和本地化之间的区别应该很清楚了——这意味着我们已经准备好深入了解本地化在实践中会是什么样子。让我们考虑以下不仅仅需要翻译的情况示例:
考虑以下情况:一家总部位于美国的电子商务公司最近扩展到了欧洲市场,因此,其内容和通信需求发生了变化。
然后,它的网站需要适应多种语言,以适应新的市场需求。因此,以下关于全球销售的句子必须从美式英语翻译成德语:
人工智能翻译可能提供以下输出:
虽然这是一个可以接受的直通式翻译,但本地化版本将考虑德语使用24小时时间格式的事实。本译文的本地化版本如下:
像这样的小变化可能看起来吹毛求疵,但它们累积起来会产生真正的影响。例如,在上面的例子中,如果没有适当的本地化,德国客户可能会误解时间表并错过销售——这意味着公司的收入损失和寻求节省的潜在客户的沮丧。
这些类型的更改创建了更准确的内容和更好的整体用户体验。正如短语所解释的,适当的本地化也允许公司“克服文化障碍和。..避免可能有损品牌形象的文化失礼。”
当涉及到本地化内容时,公司的需求是多种多样的,并且视情况而定。待办事项列表可以包括:
一个公司选择本地化的材料和内容取决于它的判断力、覆盖范围和能力,但是制定一个详细的本地化策略总是一个聪明的方法。真正高质量的本地化策略优先考虑效率——这是人工智能翻译真正的亮点。
人工智能翻译在许多方面积极影响本地化工作,一些工具比其他工具提供更多优势。使用DeepL时,四大好处是:
如果您的本地化团队不是从头开始翻译,而是使用DeepL的人工智能翻译作为起点,您的公司可以享受更高效的工作流程。这种方法允许更快、更简化的项目交付。
当您在翻译过程中节省时间时,您的本地化团队可以完成更多工作。这使他们能够在更短的时间内完成更多的工作,从而提高盈利能力和投资回报率。
确保本地化文本的准确性是一项繁重的工作。当您利用DeepL等高质量人工智能翻译工具的力量时,您的本地化团队将受益于更准确、细致入微的翻译,这意味着他们需要编辑的内容更少,从而提高整体质量。
手动翻译提供了高质量的结果,但通常需要大量的协调和时间。确保全公司范围内翻译和本地化流程的一致性总是很困难,尤其是当公司与外部翻译提供商合作或依赖同事的内部非官方语言技能时。
然而,当所有本地化团队都依赖于相同的翻译方法,并且可以通过方便的术语表功能指定行业或公司特定的术语时,事情就简单多了。这些功能可以减少协调时间,并有助于在所有地区保持一致的语音和语气,这定义了“用户希望在其用户界面中看到的语言和地区首选项”。
即使考虑到所有这些好处,重要的是要注意人工智能翻译只是本地化过程中的一步。虽然它旨在改进对齐并加快过程,但它并不能取代真正的本地化工作。
相反,像DeepL这样的人工智能翻译工具应该与本地化结合使用,以获得最佳效果。
对于大大小小的公司来说,DeepL的人工智能翻译是简化本地化工作和跨越语言障碍加强客户忠诚度的首选解决方案。
请记住,最好的人工智能翻译工具是灵活的,可以轻松集成到现有的平台和工具中,这意味着它们可以改善本地化流程,而不会给工作日增加更多麻烦。从易于使用的API集成到方便的SSO登录功能,高质量的人工智能翻译工具为致力于将业务推向世界的公司带来了巨大的变化。

人工智能技术在过去几年中取得了惊人的进步,毫无疑问,人工智能将继续发展。然而,要负责任地做到这一点,适当的数据安全和数据隐私管理必须仍然是重中之重。
世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)最近的一篇文章强调了这一问题,指出:“由于人工智能模型依赖于数据质量来提供显著的结果,它们的持续存在取决于隐私保护是其设计的组成部分。”
随着人工智能在商业世界中的多样化和不断增长的应用,采用人工智能的公司需要比以往任何时候都更了解适当的数据保护措施。
在本帖中,我们将讨论为什么DeepL Pro是您公司获得一流翻译质量以及最高数据安全性和合规性标准的最佳选择。
作为领先的人工智能通信工具,DeepL为全球数千家公司提供高质量的人工智能翻译,帮助他们在竞争中领先——但让DeepL脱颖而出的不仅仅是一流的翻译。
全球律师事务所Taylor Wessing的合伙人Benedikt Kohn博士解释说——现代企业必须明白,“人工智能依赖于对海量数据的处理。有时候。..即使是最私人的数据。“为了保护这些敏感信息,在评估人工智能软件时,必须“首先”考虑数据保护。
通过在不牺牲质量的情况下为客户提供最佳的数据保护,DeepL已经成为希望简化流程并在行业中获得竞争优势的公司的首选人工智能通信工具。
为了确保顶级的数据安全性,DeepL服务器由DeepL SE独家控制,并在ISO 27001认证的数据中心运行,具有出色的安全措施。DeepL尽最大努力保护其服务器,并确保没有人可以获得未经授权的访问。
与基于云的环境不同,这种设置保证了DeepL从头到尾对所有数据保持完全控制。通过这种方法,您的敏感数据可以通过DeepL的软件安全地处理。
此外,来自专业订阅者的所有文本在翻译后都会被删除,这意味着它们不会永久存储,而只会在翻译期间被删除。另外,专业用户的文本从来没有被用来训练DeepL的人工智能模型。
作为一家总部位于欧盟的公司,DeepL遵守GDPR关于以下方面的所有法规:
除了GDPR合规性,DeepL Pro用户还可以享受企业级数据安全性和最先进的传输层安全性(TLS)加密数据传输。此外,DeepL的密码套件——这是一套保护网络连接的算法——会定期审查和更新。
为了进一步评估其基础设施和应用程序的安全性,DeepL的内部安全团队在外部专家的帮助下定期进行渗透测试。DeepL的合规团队会跟进所有发现,以不断提高DeepL的安全性。这确保了只有授权用户才能访问敏感数据,并且所有个人身份信息都保持安全。
得益于DeepL出色的数据安全性、完全的GDPR合规性和高质量的翻译,公司可以最大限度地提高工作效率并降低成本,同时为其敏感数据保持最高级别的保护。
DeepL不仅提供高质量的翻译,还提供极其可靠的服务。所有DeepL Pro服务都是冗余的,这意味着由于额外或备用上行链路,可用性得到了保证。它们还受到自动故障转移机制的保护——这是一种在无法保持数据可用性的情况下将应用程序移动到备用服务器的过程。
简而言之,这些安全功能确保了DeepL无故障、一致的数据可用性,这有助于公司简化工作流程并提高运营效率。
只要有可能,DeepL就会避免涉及分包商——因为当第三方参与数据处理时,保持完全的可见性和控制会更加困难。例如,DeepL最近将PDF翻译的处理完全转移到内部,消除了任何第三方的参与。
如认为有必要,将根据ISO 27001政策仔细挑选和审核合格的分包商。这种方法使DeepL能够严格控制谁在访问信息,防止您的敏感数据落入坏人之手。
在最近DeepL AI Talks系列的一次坐下来的谈话中,Taylor Wessing的合伙人Axel Freiherr von dem Bussche博士谈到了DeepL的安全措施如何保护数据并使其客户受益,他说:
根据网络安全风险投资公司的数据,仅在2023年,预计全球网络犯罪的年度成本就将达到8万亿美元(€为7.29万亿美元)。这意味着使用适当的数据安全措施(如DeepL使用的措施)来保护数据比以往任何时候都更加重要,并且可能在您公司的整体成功中发挥至关重要的作用。
这也是为什么在用户方面,DeepL坚持“最小特权原则”这意味着专业帐户管理员可以轻松控制所有团队成员的访问级别。此方法允许管理员:
专业用户知道适当的数据保护措施将保护他们的敏感信息安全并鼓励高效使用,因此可以完全放心地将DeepL集成到他们的工作流程中。
优先考虑数据保护、适当的数据管理和GDPR合规性的行业通常采用DeepL Pro作为其人工智能通信工具的首选。
因此,DeepL的许多客户都是行业领导者,他们要求最高级别的数据保护以及世界一流的质量,例如:
用来自Taylor Wessing的Freiherr von dem Bussche博士的话说,DeepL的公司受益于数据保护的“德国/欧盟黄金标准”,这使他们能够“更容易地在全球推出产品”。
此外,由于DeepL的翻译人工智能已经使用官方、公开的欧盟文件进行了训练,它能够提供最高质量的输出。这对于某些行业尤其重要——如法律、制造和政府机构——在这些行业中,技术术语可能很难翻译。
随着人工智能继续改变世界的工作方式,数据保护必须保持在如何负责任地采用和集成人工智能的所有决策的最前沿。DeepL努力通过其数据保护策略和翻译质量不仅满足而且超越用户的期望,并致力于随着人工智能技术在未来几年的变化和发展而这样做。
DeepL的独特定位是保护用户敏感信息的安全,是注重隐私的公司的最佳选择。
