Postby Carmody » Fri Mar 03, 2023 4:57 pm

My access to Deepl doesn't work anymore.

Do I have to pay money now?

Any hints?

I think there are monthly/weekly/daily usage limits. You might just need to wait until it rolls over.

If you mean the Deepl online translator, I just got it to translate the opening paragraph of La Peste. For free.

Edit 1 time to add 'for free'

Ok, just to clarify........... when I go to:

https://www.deepl.com/translator

and do my translating there. it works fine. No problem.

However, when I go to their site to download it and do so then I get system errors. It also says at their site that I have to pay...It says it is free but does not give me a live button to download.

Please don't bother yourselves with the question; it could be a real time drain.

Thanks.

I was able to download it and use it effectively. I'm not sure what system you use, but I'm on windows 11.

On thing I noticed was a log-in screen for the Pro version when it first opened up, but I just clicked out of it and it took me to the main app and I was able to test it from there.

EDIT: As far as their site, I clicked on the Apps link, and downloaded it from there.

If you are looking for a working windows download page for DeepL PC/Desktop try the one below.

deepl.com/fr/app

Then click the button: Télécharger – L’application est gratuite! That should initiate the download. After it downloads, find where it downloaded to on your PC, then run the executable to install it.

So I proceeded as you directed and got this from my Avast:

Avast
We've blocked CefShar.BrowswerSubprocess.exe because it was infected iwth IDP.Generic


Then it said I needed a Restart, which I did.......and then I got this...
The app must close due to an error. A bug report has been sent.....


Oh my...I will just go with the website..

Sounds like your Anti-Virus is blocking the installation. It's incorrectly determining that something in the package is a virus. (My antivirus software, Norton, didn't make any such claim.)

Either that or there's already a virus on the system screwing things up. Hopefully it's the former though.

I'm not overly familiar with Avast, but you should be able to get it to unblock the install and whatever file it thinks is a virus. I'm just not sure how.

EDIT: I basically used the link you had initially posted in the thread, and from there clicked "apps free". The English version of coldrainwater's link above.
