PopClip extension snippet for DeepL Write

PopClip Extensions
1

This is a rather simple PopClip extension for DeepL Write, a service to correct and improve your writing. Currently (November 2023) there is no API access available. This extension opens selected text on the DeepL Write website, where you can set options like intended audience (style) or how proposed changes are displayed.

#popclip
name: DeepL-Write
icon: iconify:game-icons:quill-ink
url: https://www.deepl.com/write#en/***
description: DeepL Write (English)

(The above block is an extension snippet — select it then click “Install Extension” in PopClip.)

While the website mostly recognizes the language of the text input, you can also specify which language to use with the following snippet. It adds an alternative URL to open German input. You can trigger this behaviour by holding the option key while clicking the PopClip action.

Great use of the alternate url! It’s the first one I’ve seen in the wild. Sometimes I’m not sure if people have read the docs so here is proof. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the idea (and the great icon) but unfortunately the new DeepL tool is only in EN or DE but still not in French :-(. But i hope soon.
Note : I already asked DeepL To add translation from EN > EN (or any language) to permit to correct our text… without answer until this new function ;:wink:

When more languages become available, only the language code needs to be adjusted in the above snippet.

yes, of course. I’ve already tested with fr in the snippet… and i saw the answer of DeepL : “write” function only available for EN & DE… (but it’s ok for my job ! i’m writing in EN or DE, newer in FR ! but on winOS :frowning:
