good to use as free resource

For basic translation it seems to work. But it is limited.
When we type individual words in some language combos (FR-EN, RU-EN, etc.) on the DeepL website we get examples, like: potato Kartoffel Potatoes contain a lot of potassium. Kartoffeln enthalten viel Kalium.
Is there a way for the addon to scrape the sentences and put them on fields in the cards?

works like a charm, way better translations than Google (but that we already knew).

Very helpful! Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. The addon works great.
I do have a feature request, however: batch editing (similar to awesomeTTS) would be great!
Edit: Thank you very much! I didn’t find it earlier and helped myself by disabling the pop-up window when translating.
Seriously, I love it!
Edit 2: Feature Request - Glossary I like to use DeepL to translate very short phrases. When translating phrases including the Italian pronoun “lei,” both “she” (third person singular) and “you” (second person singular - forma

I get the message “Authorisation failed, check your authentication key”. The key doesn’t work. Comment from author How did you get it? Did you create a developer account using the DeepL API Free plan?
The DeepL API Free authentication key can be identified by the suffix “:fx” (e.g., 279a2e9d-83b3-c416-7e2d-f721593e42a0:fx)

Ask for HELP. I’m a subscriber of deepl pro and in the account settings, I only see: Authentication Key for CAT tool plugins Use your Authentication Key to allow your CAT tools to access DeepL’s translations. Please make sure to keep your Key confidential. Here’s the secret key I copied into the plugin to verify it doesn’t work. I also searched the official documentation of the deepl api, and still couldn’t find any other api key, so I’d like to ask what’s wrong, thanks for sharing. Comment from

Clicking the button, adding the API key and setting the languages and done! Works perfectly, also cool in combination with TTS btw :D
It would be cool if there would be the possibility to set it up once and then just click the button to fill out the missing field (translation in both directions) automatically

It is fixed now. Thank you! Comment from author before post was edited It’s been fixed.
If you could test it and change your review, it’ll be appreciated!

I simply fixed this add-on for Anki23.12 + and uploaded it to AnkiWeb. After the original add-on has been updated to Anki 23.10+, this fork is not needed.

Hi, it is very useful. Thank you. I need to ask you of how to update this tool after updating Anki 23.12.1. From my side, I can use this tool but I got a message that this tool should be updated too. I got this information as below. If someone knows any solutions, please contact to me.

Incredible time saver. Thank you.

Exactly what I was looking for. Even supports translating multiple cards at a time. Thank you!

I was looking for a way to do this very task and was delighted to find this add-on. It works as advertised. That said, it is subject to the limitations of DeepL. For individual word translations from German to Swedish, DeepL seems to go through English, and the result is often just wrong. For example, “Messe” is translated into Swedish as “rättvist” instead of “mässa.” It seems to have translated “Messe” to “fair” (as in “book fair”) and then translated “fair” (as in “respecting rules”) to Swedi

looks great.

Thank you for your contribution and selflessness in the Anki community.

DeepL is way better than Google Translate. I actually emailed Deepl asking why they won’t serve third worlders, I got a reply saying that it’s something to do with tax law in EU. Oh well.

What an amazing addon. Do you think it would be possible to automate it with Yomichan, so new cards are automatically translated? The same way some addons automatically generate furigana when a new card is created. That would be the cherry on the top! Thank you for your incredible work in all your addons.

Easy to use and worked fine for me. Thank you!
