Ask HN: Translation Service to Recommend?
7 points by iracic 2627 days ago
Google Translate alike, REST API, low volume (~200 characters), low frequency (50/hour), reliable, not too stringent latency. Any positive experience to share ?

i saw https://deepl.com mentioned in another comment on another post. seems pretty nifty, im having a good time just chaining translations across languages to see how effective it as at maintaining the original intent and context. im quite happy with it as a toy but i imagine it could be very useful in other more focused applications
Seems promising. Thank you for info.
I used the Microsoft one for a project, it wasn’t bad, but it had a specific language bug (I don’t remember what) that meant a common phrase didn’t work for us, so the project swapped to google translate.
Thank you for reply. Did you test some other sites before going to Google Translate?
Not really. They already had a google cloud account with other services and were happy to pay the higher costs to solve the issue quickly.
