If you know a little about machine translation software, you must have heard of the power of DeepL. This is a machine translation company located in Germany. The neural network translation engine it developed has improved very high-quality translation services and has beaten the translation services of many international companies such as Google/Amazon/Microsoft to the ground.
On the DeepL official website, the comparison is as follows:
Immersive translation software that can use the DeepL API provides a set of comparative translation content:
Do any of your friends need to translate foreign language documents at work or study?
There was a time when I needed to read data reports in foreign languages from time to time in order to obtain and provide cutting-edge opinions and materials. This is very unfriendly to middle-aged professionals who have given English back to their teachers. Especially when it comes to translation of professional terms, repeated verification is often required. Unfortunately, at that time, I only knew Google and Microsoft, but not DeepL.
Although I don’t need to read reports in foreign languages much now, I still browse foreign websites and receive emails in foreign languages. It’s also a headache to see that my manuscripts have been translated by Google so that they don’t sound right. So, I thought about subscribing to the DeepL API service.
However, if you want to use DeepL, the biggest difficulty in subscribing is that you need an overseas bank card.
I have successively used single-currency and dual-currency credit cards issued by different domestic banks such as UnionPay/Visa/Master/American Express, but they were all unable to pay. This is probably the norm for subscribing to overseas apps. You have nowhere to spend your money.
Even so, there is no solution.
The first one: Use someone else’s API
For specific methods, see this article: "DeepLX: Play with AI tools such as ChatGPT/Gemini and translate English with three spaces》
For ordinary people, this method can solve the needs of 90% and above who want to use DeepL. The limitation is that if you cannot deploy DeepLX on a (VPS) server, it can only be used locally. Not very friendly to multi-device users.
Second type: Apply for an overseas virtual bank card
As the title says, Wise virtual card can be used to subscribe to DeepL.
For specific methods, see this article: "Wise International Debit Card: How do mainland Chinese users open virtual and physical cards?》
However, it is a bit troublesome to activate the Wise account, but the long-term holding cost is low and it is worth registering.
Therefore, friends who have high-quality translation needs may wish to try it. After all, DeepL API also has a Free plan. It can translate 500,000 characters per month without spending money, which should be enough for daily use.
