Meet the team behind this journey

The Glossary & Customisation team’s challenge is to provide DeepL’s users with new ways to adapt translations to their own needs and wishes. We believe that DeepL’s groundbreaking AI translation technology is even more powerful when users can decide for themselves exactly how it should translate. An example of this is our glossary, which allows users to define thousands of preferred translations, ensuring that whenever they use our translator, it gives back the best possible translation tailored to their own needs. Our team is working closely together with research teams to ensure that we can introduce even more exciting ways to customise DeepL Translator.
