Customize Formality Levels for Your Translations

Understanding the nuances of language formality is essential when translating content for different audiences and contexts.

This dropdown allows you to set the formality level for translations across various languages, supporting:

  • German (DE)
  • French (FR)
  • Italian (IT)
  • Spanish (ES)
  • Dutch (NL)
  • Polish (PL)
  • Portuguese, Brazilian (PT-BR)
  • Portuguese, European (PT-PT)
  • Japanese (JA)
  • Russian (RU)

By tailoring the formality level to specific languages, you can ensure that your translations strike the right tone—from formal business communications to casual social media posts—making your content more engaging and culturally appropriate.

Why It Matters

At DeepL, we are committed to continuously improving our platform to meet the evolving needs of our users. These new features are designed to save you time, maintain accuracy, and uphold the nuances of language—no matter the complexity of your content.

We invite you to explore these new capabilities and discover how they can streamline your translation processes and elevate the quality of your multilingual communications.
