• 多年來，技術人員一直計畫實現通用翻譯器的現實版本

• 未來十年全球翻譯服務市場將達到 440 億美元。

• DeepL 是一家位於德國科隆、擁有 700 名員工的新創公司，專注於機器翻譯。 今年 1 月，它以 10 億歐元（11 億美元）的估值籌集了資金。 Jarek Kutylowski 是創辦人兼執行長。

• Kutylowski 將 DeepL 的技術描述為“上下文引擎”，其工作原理是一次吸收整個文本段落。

• Techies have been promising for years to make a real-life version of a universal translator

• Forecasters project the global market for translation services will top $44 billion in the next decade.

• DeepL, a 700-person startup DeepL SE in Cologne, Germany is solely focused on machine translation. This January it raised funds at a €1 billion ($1.1 billion) valuation. Jarek Kutylowski is founder and chief executive officer.

• Kutylowski describes DeepL’s tech as a “contextual engine,” which works by absorbing entire paragraphs of text at once.

• DeepL’s system is a “grade smaller” than more general-use models but also more efficient, because it’s tailor-made for translation.
