DeepL is a very promising thing. I was very sceptic on the future of automatic translation seeing as Google Translate seems to have stagnated for the last two years or so, but I’ve just recently tried DeepL on a German newspaper article a couple of days ago and it did a very good job. Granted, I don’t know German (hence why I used DeepL) but nevertheless the English translation provided by DeepL seemed more polished than what Google Translate usually does.

I've used it a fair amount, and continue to be amazed with the quality it puts out. There are still some issues with formal pronouns, subject-matter-specific contractions etc, but otherwise it does a great job with both EN->DE and DE->EN
