How thatgamecompany uses DeepL

As published on deepl.com, February 2026. Captured by usedby on Oct 7, 2026.

What happened

thatgamecompany uses the DeepL API to provide real-time in-game chat translation in Sky: Children of the Light, so players who speak different languages can talk to each other and form friendships. The team valued DeepL's direct language-to-language translation over approaches that use English as an intermediate language.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of DeepL and thatgamecompany, not ours.

While DeepL API meets their latency requirements, there's an additional benefit that set it apart. DeepL API bypasses the common industry pitfall where English is used as a "medium language"; a process Matthew describes as inherently "lossy."
