The introduction of desktop programs for Windows and Mac adds a new option to the service that desktop workers may find useful as it speeds up the translating significantly. Closing WordsĭeepL is my go-to translation service for any of the languages that it supports.
Just select the plus icon in the settings and select one of the programs to block DeepL from interacting with it. The notification is helpful in the beginning as it reminds you that you may translate by pressing Ctrl-C again or by clicking on the notification popup but once you know that, it becomes somewhat annoying that you cannot disable it. While you may pause the notification for one hour or until restart, you won't find an option to disable them permanently. DeepL displays a notification whenever you use Ctrl-C. The beta offers no option to disable notifications permanently. There is not much to see here apart from options to change the notifications settings, exclude certain programs from the quick translation functionality, or changing the trigger. A click on a word displays synonyms in a menu.Ĭlick on Menu and select Settings to open the preferences. DeepL may display alternative translations for individual words, phrases or sentences.
