DeepL Pro: Offer for Employees

Together with the SWITCH Foundation, the University of Zurich offers its employees a cost-effective access to DeepL Pro.

Advantages of DeepL Pro compared to DeepL Free:

  • Data Protection: DeepL Pro does not store texts to optimize machine learning.

  • Scope: You can translate 20 documents (instead of 3) with a size of up to 20 MB (instead of 5 MB) per month.

  • Convenience: You can store an unlimited number of terms in your DeepL glossary. This ensures that specific words are always translated in your preferred version or excluded from automatic translation.

Please note: Access to the API (Application Programming Interface) is not included in the package described above.

DeepL Write Pro

  • DeepL Write Pro is an AI-powered text editing tool designed specifically to optimise texts. It aims to improve the style, clarity, accuracy and grammar of texts.
  • In the free version of DeepL Write, the scope of text optimisation is limited.

Costs

If you subscribe to DeepL Pro or DeepL Write Pro through the described method, your cost center will be charged CHF 5.50 per month.

Subscribing

Order your DeepL Pro or DeepL Write Pro subscription through the UZH software portal or, if your organizational unit does not have access to the ordering software offered there, directly through your IT manager.

UZH Software Portal
Find responsible IT manager

Important: After ordering, you will receive an email with the subject line along the lines of «DeepL Pro - Invitation from procurement@switch.ch». This email contains a link that you must click to activate your DeepL Pro account.

Solve activation problem

The activation of your DeepL Pro account fails if you have already created a Free subscription using the same email address.

You can solve this problem by cancelling the Free account in the DeepL subscription management. Scroll all the way down there and click on "Delete account". Afterwards, click on the activation link in the email you received from SWITCH.

Unsubscribing

The cancellation options vary depending on the ordering method:

  • If you ordered through the UZH software portal, cancel the subscription through your license dashboard

  • If your IT manager ordered DeepL Pro or DeepL Write Pro for you, ask him to cancel your subscription.

If you leave the UZH, your subscription will be automatically canceled.
