More human and natural text translation with DeepL, better than Google Translate

A new online service has recently come out that really must be tried and placed as a favorite.
It is DeepL Translator, a free online translation site very similar to popular services such as Google Translate or Bing Translate, which is powered by a super computer and the use of convolutional neural networks
The result is that of a more human translation, easier to read and fluent to speak .
The site is very simple to use, you just need to write or paste text in English or any other language, choose the target language which can be Italian or any other language, then see the translated text.
Although it would deserve more in-depth testing, DeepL also proves better than Google Translate in putting words in order and translating sentences with a more natural language, which is often lacking in automatic translators.
You can try DeepL from the official website of the service //www.deepl.com/translator .
DeepL Translator can also be downloaded as a program for Windows and Mac PCs, to integrate it with other programs and have the translator always at hand without having to open the website.
Unlike the other best online translation sites, DeepL Translator still supports many languages ​​including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish. The translator also allows you to click on each word to see the corresponding term in the other language and allows you to choose an alternative translation by providing many suggestions.
DeepL, if installed as a program, adds an icon to the Windows taskbar to be used to display the program interface. You can write or paste the text to be translated in the interface, at any time to translate it immediately. DeepL can display alternative translations for single words, phrases or sentences and clicking on a word displays synonyms in a menu. From the Menu, you can access Settings to open preferences and change notifications, exclude certain programs from quick translation.
The beta version offers no option to disable notifications permanently. DeepL displays a notification every time you use Ctrl-C. While you can pause the notification for an hour or until it restarts, you won't find an option to disable them permanently. Notification is useful at the beginning as it reminds you that you can translate by pressing Ctrl-C again or clicking on the notification popup, but once you know it, it becomes somewhat annoying not to be able to disable it.
Although it cannot be used to translate Chinese, Japanese or many other languages ​​that are included by Google Translate, DeepL's translations, as mentioned above, seem to be of higher quality and more human, more readable without appearing illiterate or dyslexic .
A defect of Google Translate and other similar services, in fact, has always been the inability to understand the contexts of the sentences and the difficulty of putting together words to provide a translation that if read aloud does not seem robotic. In my tests I tried to translate some articles taken from the internet from English to Italian and then also to translate them from Italian to English, noting actually a better quality of the translation, even if it remains not perfect. Surely DeepL is better than Google in finding the right meaning of the context in which words are used.
A test that shows a better ability in DeepL translations than Google Translate and Bing Translate is to translate a sentence into English and then re-translate that same sentence into Italian to see if the text matches the original. When trying this text with Google, the Italian that returns is usually all wrong, while on the contrary the translation of DeepL reports almost the same original text.
DeepL, therefore, works well and it is really worth trying it and keeping it among the favorites also in view of the next improvements. IPhone and Android applications will be released later this year.
