We have been discussing a few things with the DeepL team and I wanted to make sure you understood that this feature will not be available to you if you only have a Pro account?

It will only be available to users with a "DeepL API for Business" subscription.  This is because of what DeepL support, not because of anything we are restricting.

To quote the information we were provided with:

"However, in case of additional development to your plugin, it should be noted that customers with a DeepL Pro Advanced or Ultimate subscription (the prerequisites for CAT Tool integration) are not allowed to create the glossaries themselves via direct API request.
Direct access to our API by customers who do not have a DeepL API subscription counts as a violation of our Terms and Conditions and may result in a corresponding suspension for these customers."

So this means you have to have a DeepL API subscription of which they offer three types:

• DeepL API Free
• DeepL API Pro
• DeepL API for Business

Of these three only one includes CAT tool integration and that's "DeepL API for Business".

We are currently investigation with DeepL how we are able determine the style of subscription a user has as this is not clear.  But this is likely to be news for some users, possibly like you, who have a Pro subscription and believed this meant you can work with glossaries.

You should also be aware that there are glossaries, and there are glossaries!  The glossaries you create using the API are not the same as the glossaries you create manually.  So you will not be able to use the ones you created in your account as they cannot be accessed via the API... and vice versa.  This means a lot of synching between the two if you wish to keep them in synch... something you will have to do manually.

Also, the DeepL API does not support an ability to change a glossary.  So if you need to make changes you would have to delete the existing one and recreate a new one.

All in all possibly not a particularly attractive option.  I would be very interested to learn your view on this information if you were not aware of it already?

Uh, that's complex. I have a "Classic Pro" subscription, that is roughly on the level on "Pro Advanced". From what I see on their site, none of the API plans include CAT tool support:

I think for me the threshold is just too high. I currently have an RWS Language Weaver test account that is both adaptive and supports glossaries. If I add up the costs (time/money), it is a no-brainer to go for that either instead of DeepL or in addition to it. (DeepL's translation quality is unmatched.)

So that screenshot is even more confusing!  Where did you get that from?  This is the current explanation on their website:

Given they specifically said that only a DeepL API subscription supports the use of glossaries via the API that leaves only the DeepL API Business.

I wonder when you last cleared your browser cache?  Try that link in an incognito browser.

Paul Wow. I was living in the past. Well, "Individuelle Preisgestaltung" means it's not affordable for small teams or individual users. It's a high threshold.

I have tried to summarise the situation now after several conversations with DeepL and have put it into the wiki we have for the plugin here:  DeepL Translation Provider 

We have been working on the plugin anyway and will release an update to both the plugin (Trados Studio) and add-on (Language Cloud) in due course that provides glossary support.

Thanks a lot.
