The checked Free comparison lists 50,000 text characters and one file translation per month. Paid file count and glossary capacity depend on plan.
Where it worksWeb, macOS, Windows, iOS, AndroidWeb, desktop, browser, and mobile
Translate text in the apps; upload supported files through the account-based document translation workflow.
Usage & termsPlan controls file and glossary limitsIndividual: three files and five terms/pair
Free Word uploads are capped at 5 MB and 100,000 characters; Individual and Team allow up to 30 MB and one million characters per file.
Glossary, tone, and alternative-word features support fewer languages than general translation; check the specific pair, model, and layout before a book run.
Translate the file instead of pasting every passage
Word documents, PDFs, and other supported formats can be uploaded for file translation. A manuscript that fits the file limits can go through as one document. Paid plans raise both file size and monthly allowances; Individual currently includes three files per month, Team twenty.
Give recurring terms a preferred translation
Glossaries specify words and short phrases so names, series terminology, and publishing vocabulary can follow your choices. Glossary language support is narrower than ordinary translation, and plan capacity matters: Individual has five entries per language pair, Team has 1,000.
Language controls and plan limits
-
Choose the language variety that matches the edition
-
Supported target choices include British or American English, French or Canadian French, and European or Brazilian Portuguese. Latin American Spanish requires the next-generation model. Formal/informal tone and alternative wording have their own language limits.
-
Translate smaller publishing tasks where you work
-
The web translator, desktop apps, browser extension, and mobile apps also suit blurbs, correspondence, and excerpts. DeepL Write and API access have separate product and plan choices; a Translator subscription should be checked against the specific tool needed.

Recorded requirements and limits
- File translation requires an account. Word files on the free account are limited to 5 MB and 100,000 characters; Individual and Team allow 30 MB and one million characters per file.
- Monthly file allowances, editable downloads, batch processing, and glossary capacity depend on the plan. Individual currently permits only five glossary entries per language pair; Team permits 1,000.
- Glossaries, alternative wording, and formal/informal tone cover fewer languages than the main translator. Check the particular language pair and model.
- Review translated manuscripts for literary voice and meaning. PDF scans, unusual fonts, and image-heavy layouts can need cleanup.
