Anyone who's worked with translation knows that machine translation has become an essential tool, but what remains crucial is still accuracy. Whether it's localizing your app, expanding into new markets, or handling communication barriers, the most important thing is accurate translations without mistakes. That's why it's key to pick the right solution — and that’s exactly what a recent survey by the Association of Language Companies (ALC) shows.
In their 2024 Industry Survey, an overwhelming 82% of leading language service companies (LSCs) said they trust DeepL for machine translation, putting it leagues ahead of competitors like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. This shift isn’t just about preference; it’s about precision, efficiency, and innovation that cater to real-world needs.
Why DeepL Leads the Pack
DeepL has grown from a specialized language AI company to the industry leader in machine translation, even surpassing big tech players. Part of that is on Google, as the quality of their Google Translate service was famously bad for quite a while. Meanwhile, DeepL came in as a platform designed with language expertise at its core. By focusing on nuanced translations and industry-specific needs, it delivered significantly better results. It’s no wonder enterprises — including 50% of the Fortune 500 — embraced DeepL to drive productivity and streamline translations.
Poor translations can lead to miscommunications, lost opportunities, and slowed workflows. For large businesses, the stakes are simply too high to risk that. DeepL’s ability to marry accuracy with enterprise-ready features like glossaries ensures that even complex documents and discussions are handled with care.
