User Reviews

Users appreciate the DeepL Translator for its accuracy and ease of use, considering it one of the best web translators. However, many express frustration that translations open in a new tab rather than displaying inline, causing browser flicker and poor user experience. The automatic triggering of translation and lack of control options also contribute to dissatisfaction. Additionally, glitches and lag impact performance, and missing features like target language selection and persistent translation bubbles limit convenience.
Pros
  • Provides accurate and useful translations, arguably among the best web translators.
  • Simple and easy to use, especially helpful for native speakers with limited technical knowledge.
  • Supports multiple languages and integration with DeepL's translation service.
Cons
  • Only translates by opening a new tab with DeepL website instead of showing translation in the current tab, causing UX issues.
  • Causes browser blinking or flickering when translating, which is distracting and annoying to users.
  • Translation process triggers automatically after text selection with no option for manual control, leading to unwanted translations.
  • Glitches and lag reported in the browser window and tab bar when using the extension.
  • Lacks user-friendly features such as setting target language directly and persistent translation bubbles, limiting usability.

Is DeepL Translator Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DeepL Translator requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
