The new 3.0 version of the wv_deepltranslate extension for TYPO3 enables seamless integration of DeepL translations into your website. With this extension, you can quickly and easily have content translated into multiple languages automatically from within TYPO3 to expand your international reach.

In version 3.0 the following features have been integrated:

• Support for language variants - A website now automatically translated into British English and American English, for example.
• Revision of the glossary function - Creation and maintenance of glossaries, with which certain pairs of terms are always translated in a defined manner. This feature is especially interesting when content has technical terms.
• Automatic translation label - For mass translations, it is now possible to display both the translation date and a hint for automatic translation. Content can thus be published more quickly before proofreaders have checked it again. The development of this feature was supported by FH Aachen.

Refactoring and improvement of code quality with regard to the upcoming TYPO3 v12 support.
The wv_deepltranslate extension is available for free in the TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER) or on GitHub.

Automatically translated texts using Google Translate or similar services are largely considered to be of inferior quality and their results tend to be smiled at, even considered nonsensical, especially in the professional environment and are primarily used for general amusement. But DeepL, unlike these providers, takes a different technical approach and delivers high-quality translations thanks to constantly learning neural networks.

But what is the reason for this? Anyone who has ever used such translation services will probably have their own personal anecdotes to tell regarding gloriously illogical translations. Most of these translators have a solid basic repertoire of everyday terms, but fail when it comes to technical content, terms with multiple meanings, Anglicisms, or simply the overall context of the text. Thus, "side dishes" can easily become "accessories for dishes" instead of the intended side dishes for the main course.

The TYPO3 DeepL Translate Extension developed by web-vision is available for the current TYPO3 versions 10.4 and 11.5 LTS, but also supports installations based on TYPO3 version 9.5 ELTS. It can be downloaded for free from the TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER) or from GitHub. Further links can be found at the bottom of the page.

After integrating the extension into your TYPO3 installation, DeepL Translate enables your editors to translate your content fully automatically directly in the TYPO3 backend. Through a direct, multi-step communication with the DeepL API, the translation takes place within a few seconds.

The translated content is created fully automatically in the TYPO3 backend as an additional page language and with all existing content elements. After a visual check and, if necessary, corrections, your editor can then release the translated content for the alternative page language with a simple click.

The effort required to manage multilingual websites and create texts, as well as to create new localizations of your website, is significantly reduced by using TYPO3 and wv_deepltranslate.

As already described at the beginning, many of the common, free translation services fail particularly quickly with technical terms or terms with specific meanings in different languages.

Thanks to the new glossary function in wv_deepltranslate, this is no longer the case. Create individual glossary entries centrally at the click of a mouse and assign individual, true-to-meaning translations to the terms.

If you have stored the desired term in the glossary, you can store the corresponding definition in the localization language in the next step.

All glossary entries and their translations can be clearly viewed in list form in the TYPO3 backend and easily changed if required.

The extension wv_deepltranslate is suitable for websites or platforms that want to have large amounts of content translated quickly, accurately and reliably in an automated way. The target groups of our development are therefore especially universities with multilingual websites, as well as other TYPO3-based multi-lingual websites.

DeepL Translate enables you to have professional translations of any content at the push of a button and without lengthy coordination with translation agencies. If you increasingly use technical terms in your online communication, you can also be sure of their correct translation thanks to the integrated glossary function.
