DeepL Plugin - Cloud-based?

We use the DeepL Pro Plugin in Trados Studio and have recently received new guidelines in our company regarding the use of cloud-based products, which I'm concerned may affect our use of the DeepL plugin.

As DeepL itself is cloud-based, am I right to assume that the DeepL plugin also uses cloud technology?

    Yes, you are correct.  The DeepL Pro Plugin for Trados Studio uses cloud technology as it leverages DeepL's cloud-based translation engine.  Since it relies on the cloud to access DeepL's neural networks and translation models, any guidelines or restrictions related to the use of cloud-based products within your company could indeed affect the use of the DeepL plugin.  It might be prudent to consult with your IT department or relevant stakeholders to understand how these new guidelines specifically relate to tools like DeepL and whether there will be any implications for your current workflow.

    This will most likely apply to all Machine Translation engines you use.
