DeepL has taken a significant step forward in global business translations with its enhanced glossary functionality. This includes the introduction of an innovative glossary generator, expanded language support, and more features aimed at saving businesses time, effort, and costs while improving translation consistency.
DeepL, a leading name in Language AI, announced these updates to its glossary tool today. The enhanced feature allows professionals and businesses to create personalized translations for specific terms, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all communication. In a groundbreaking move, the company unveiled the industry’s first smart glossary generator, which simplifies and accelerates the process of creating translation glossaries. The tool now supports multiple new languages and is seamlessly integrated into DeepL’s browser extensions and other platforms, such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, offering users a smoother experience.
“With businesses operating on a global scale, AI-powered translations have become crucial in overcoming language barriers.

For businesses aiming to grow internationally, maintaining brand consistency across languages is key. Clear, consistent communication ensures that technical terms, product names, and branded language are understood across teams and customers worldwide. Research shows that consistent branding can increase revenue by over 20% and enhance visibility by up to four times. However, ensuring this level of consistency can be a complex and expensive process.
DeepL’s glossary tool is designed to simplify this challenge, allowing businesses to scale their multilingual communications with ease. By enabling companies to create and manage custom glossaries, DeepL ensures that key terms are translated consistently according to the company’s unique terminology.
Key updates to DeepL’s glossary feature include:
- Industry’s First-Ever AI-Powered Glossary Generator: This new tool allows teams to create custom glossaries with a simple file upload. By using previously translated documents, the tool generates personalized glossary entries, drastically reducing manual input and enhancing efficiency. This helps businesses maintain consistent communication across languages at scale.
- Expanded Language Support Features: The glossary now supports translations in Korean, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Romanian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 16. This provides more accurate translations in a broader range of linguistic contexts, allowing businesses to connect with an even wider audience.
- Improved Access Across Platforms: The glossary can now be accessed and applied via DeepL’s browser extensions for Chrome and Edge, ensuring consistent translations across the web and Google Workspace apps. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly into Microsoft 365, including Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Users can also access the glossary through DeepL’s web browser, desktop apps, and API.
Unlike other find-and-replace tools, DeepL’s glossary offers advanced contextual understanding, allowing it to handle complex grammatical rules like case, gender, and tense. This results in more natural-sounding translations and significant productivity gains. Blind tests with language experts reveal that DeepL cuts post-editing time by 30% compared to Google Translate, and 20% compared to Chat GPT-4. Moreover, DeepL requires far fewer revisions, with competitors needing two to three times as many edits.
For users subscribed to DeepL Pro, the glossary tool also includes enhanced data security, ensuring the highest standards of certification and compliance, such as ISO 27001 and GDPR/SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. The company promises that Pro customer data is never used to train its models.
The new glossary generator is available for Pro Advanced and Ultimate subscribers, supporting TMX, DOCX, and PDF files. It currently covers glossaries for German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, French, and Russian (to and from English), with plans to expand into additional languages soon.
