Glossary ID Optional: The ID of a specific DeepL Glossary to apply.

A Glossary is a list of specific terms you have defined in your DeepL account. It ensures that a specific word is always translated in a certain way, regardless of context.

Example: Your company always refers to a "client" as a "partner". By using a Glossary, DeepL will never use the word "client," but will consistently use "partner," ensuring brand consistency across all translated articles.

    Formality

    This option determines the tone of the address (e.g., formal "you" vs. informal "you"). This is particularly important for languages such as German, French, and Spanish.

    • Default (Without Formality): The AI automatically chooses the most likely tone based on context.
      Source (EN): "Can you send me the document?"
      Translation (DE): "Kannst du mir das Dokument schicken?" (May vary).

    • Formal (prefer_more): Uses polite forms of address.
      Translation (DE): "Können Sie mir das Dokument schicken?".

    • Informal (prefer_less): Uses friendly or casual forms of address.
      Translation (DE): "Kannst du mir das Dokument schicken?".

    <p class="notranslate">My first paragraph.</p>
