Translation tips

Formal vs. informal 'you'

German distinguishes between Sie (formal) and du (informal). Business emails, applications, and official texts use Sie — but startup culture and social media often default to du. DeepL auto-detects formality from context.

Compound nouns are one word

German famously creates single compound words: Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung (speed limit), Krankenversicherung (health insurance). Machine translators sometimes break these apart — DeepL keeps them properly joined.

Four grammatical cases

German has nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive cases that change article forms (der/den/dem/des). Prepositions like 'in', 'auf', 'an' can take different cases depending on motion vs. location — a common source of translation errors.

Word order shifts in subclauses

In German subordinate clauses, the verb moves to the end: 'I know that he comes tomorrow' becomes 'Ich weiß, dass er morgen kommt.' This reordering is non-trivial and a key quality marker for translation engines.

Did you know? German has over 1,200 compound nouns that don't exist in English — including Schadenfreude (pleasure from others' misfortune) and Fernweh (longing for distant places).
