Very interesting, I've been looking for a long time for DeepL front-end, which is a very good translator! Thanks for sharing OP.

same here, DeepL user but do not want it devs to see my interaction so found this front end and very happy right now ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This is just a frontend, DeepL (or any other engine you use) still sees the text that you translate.

[โ€“] Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's true but I don't translate anything especially critical, but it's works great when DeepL no longer lets you translate more after getting over their daily limit.

And even though they have my text, they don't know where it really comes from because it comes from a proxy. (Although this makes me thing: Now the proxy maintainer have my text?)

[โ€“] FarLine99@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

i believe it works as a proxy, not just as a frontend. just like searxng or whoogle. but if not then sad ๐Ÿฅฒ

Interesting, I found it's not particularly better than google translate, and makes some questionable stylistic choices.

[โ€“] FarLine99@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

i found it way better than Google. it's power is context understanding. but this frontend is capable of doing Google too :)
