What happened
Cults 3D, a French marketplace for 3D printing models, uses the DeepL API to automatically translate user-generated listings once they become popular, and uses the DeepL app to answer customer messages in many languages. This lets a small team offer the site in several languages.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of DeepL and Cults 3D, not ours.
Cults 3D integrated the DeepL API to translate listings once they show traction. “We translate as soon as a file is displayed more than 100 times. Otherwise, it’s displayed mainly in the language in which it was written,” they explain.
It simply allows us to easily reach many international markets. It enables us to reach customers, but above all designers, who prefer to use and sell on a platform that is perfectly translatable into their own language.
