EU eTranslation

Our Expert's Opinion

After testing EU eTranslation next to tools like Google Translate and DeepL, I think it is a strong but not perfect option. The big plus is that it feels very safe and serious: it runs on EU servers, it follows GDPR rules, and it is made for public bodies that deal with sensitive files. For long, formal texts about EU topics, the quality is often very good, sometimes close to paid tools, and it covers all 24 EU languages, which is great if you work in Europe. But I also see some downsides. The interface and speed feel less smooth than the big commercial apps, and you must create an EU Login and be an eligible user, so normal citizens cannot just use it like a free public site. Like other machine translation tools, it still makes mistakes with complex sentences, informal language, or texts outside its main domains, so you often need to fix the result by hand. Overall, I would use EU eTranslation when I need secure, EU-focused translations, but for quick everyday use or very creative language, I would not rely on it alone.
