I just learned about DeepL, a new and well reviewed translator. I've tried it, and it seems pretty good (though my French is rusty). Of course, there's a R package to access DeepL too: deeplr (also on CRAN). This could be useful for when we try to translate words that aren't in our dictionary. Using the official API requires a monthly fee, but you can access DeepL using an "undocumented API" that is free of charge.

Cool! I like that idea. Our package could issue a warning if a phrase is auto translated so you can check it and/or add it to the dictionary.

Does anyone know how to use the free undocumented API mentioned here?
