Translate Documents

The document translation API allows you to translate whole documents and supports the following file types and extensions:

  • docx - Microsoft Word Document
  • pptx - Microsoft PowerPoint Document
  • xlsx - Microsoft Excel Document
  • pdf - Portable Document Format
  • htm / html - HTML Document
  • txt - Plain Text Document
  • xlf / xliff - XLIFF Document, version 2.1
  • srt - SRT Document

Please note that with every submitted document of type .pptx, .docx, .xlsx, or .pdf, you are billed a minimum of 50,000 characters with the DeepL API plan, no matter how many characters are included in the document.

Translating a document usually involves three types of HTTP requests:

  • upload the document to be translated,
  • periodically check the status of the document translation,
  • once the status call reports done, download the translated document.
