# DeepL integration in Opti.Tax

Ideal for transfer pricing, CbCR and pCbCR: automatic translation of all menus, content and chats into the user’s language – powered by DeepL.

## Automatic translation of software and content: what you need to know

### What is DeepL?

DeepL is an AI-powered translation service provided by the Cologne-based company of the same name and is regarded as the highest-quality tool of its kind, particularly for European languages. As well as offering a web-based translator and other products, DeepL enables comprehensive integration with software tools such as Opti.Tax.

### What does DeepL translate automatically?

Once you have enabled the DeepL integration in Opti.Tax, you can select which languages are to be automatically recognised and translated in future. Opti.Tax will then recognise each user’s selected language and translate the entire software into that language. This includes menus, descriptions, messages, documents and more. For messages and documents, you can always view the original version with a single click.

### How reliable are DeepL translations?

Highly reliable. DeepL’s API delivers the same globally acclaimed quality as its web interface, as the translation engine is identical. As with any use of technology, 100 per cent accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Any specialist content should be checked for accuracy by a human expert before it is used or transmitted. The DeepL integration is primarily designed to significantly simplify communication within multilingual teams.

Connecting

Multilingual teams no longer work at cross purposes, but work together.

Time-saving

Less explaining and correcting, and finally understanding everything straight away.

High-performance

DeepL has a good command of specialist terminology and is suitable for professional use.

Designed for international compliance teams

## This is what teamwork without language barriers looks like

You assign a task; your colleague in Portugal receives it in Portuguese; your colleague in Sweden later reads the documentation in Swedish. But what exactly does this look like in the software?

DeepL integration for international teams

## At a glance: the benefits of using Opti.Tax and DeepL

### Fulfil one's duty

In multilingual teams, the greatest risk lies in misunderstandings. Everyone speaks business English, of course. But who is happy to admit they haven’t understood something? Misinterpretations can quickly lead to compliance breaches.

In Opti.Tax, everyone works on the same dataset and, if necessary, can trace back all messages – both the translation and the original.

### Speeding up processes

Receiving and completing tasks in a foreign language, having documents translated and sent back and forth, and identifying and correcting errors caused by misunderstandings: all of that is now a thing of the past.

With Opti.Tax and the DeepL integration, international teams can work together as if they were all speaking the same language. This saves a great deal of time and resources.

### Breaking down language silos

On the one hand, there’s the German-speaking management; on the other, the Spanish or Polish team; and each group works on its own. Because of the language barriers, the teams share only a fraction of their work, insights and experiences.

With Opti.Tax and DeepL integration, you can manage international teams just like a local department. No language barriers, no misunderstandings.

Multilingual collaboration in practice

### Opti.Tax automatically detects the language of the computer being used

When a user logs in to Opti.Tax Cloud via a PC or Mac, the cloud system automatically detects the operating system’s default language. The entire interface is immediately switched to that language. If any content within the Opti.Tax Cloud is not yet available in that language, it will be automatically translated. The automatically generated translations are stored in the cloud database and are therefore immediately available to other users in the same language.

### An international team, many languages, one shared project

Thanks to the DeepL integration, several people can work on a task at the same time in the Opti.Tax Cloud, even if they speak different languages. For example, one person might be writing in Chinese, another in German and a third in French. Using the chat function within the task or via the Opti.Tax Cloud app for Microsoft Teams, all participants can communicate in their own language. All entries are automatically displayed to the other participants in their respective languages.

### Process documentation translated automatically

Users who speak other languages can read any process documentation or work instructions published in Opti.Tax in their own languages. Documents and instructions are automatically translated into the user’s default language. This enables international, multilingual corporations make their processes and policies immediately available to subsidiaries abroad. Even staff within the company who do not speak German can understand the information in full and without any disruption.

Automatic translations for global compliance teams

Depending on the Opti.Tax module used, the following items, amongst others, can be translated: user interfaces, text, project-related messages, tasks, content, as well as completed reports and results documents.

#### 2. Does Opti.Tax automatically recognise the user’s language?(597c2044eca95e33b)

Yes. When you log in, Opti.Tax Cloud detects the system language of your Windows PC or Mac. The application automatically switches to that language. Content that is not yet available in that language is automatically translated and saved for future users.

#### 3. Are translations stored permanently?(4195e2650e98a9188)

Yes. When content is translated for the first time, the Opti.Tax Cloud stores that translation in the database. This means that identical content does not need to be translated multiple times, and other users can benefit immediately from the existing translation.

Yes. With the DeepL integration, several people can work on a task at the same time, even if they use different languages. Each user writes in their own language and automatically sees the others’ contributions in their preferred language.

#### 5. Are chats and tasks translated in the cloud and in Microsoft Teams?(56bfcc561f8fd5211)

Yes. The chat function within a task and the Opti.Tax Cloud app for Microsoft Teams support automatic translation. Messages are translated instantly into the user’s language. At the same time, the original content remains available at any time.

#### 6. Can process documentation be translated automatically?(18a65aeda799257ad)

Yes. Process documentation or work instructions that have been drawn up in German, for example, can be automatically translated into the language of the user reading them. This enables international teams to understand documents straight away, without the need for additional translation processes.

#### 7. Can transfer pricing documentation be translated automatically?(25a34fce6733a2785)

Yes. Final transfer pricing documentation reports can be output in an additional language using the integrated translation function.

#### 8. Can the DeepL translation also be used for country-by-country reporting \(CbCR\) and Pillar 2?(ef4097ea91ba2f0ca)

#### 9. What are the benefits of DeepL integration for international companies?(7c4739b649bf9e8b0)

International teams can work together without language barriers. Work instructions, documentation and communication are immediately available in the relevant language. This makes processes more efficient and reduces misunderstandings.

#### 10. Do users need to speak a foreign language to use Opti.Tax?(35493c82ab3616c83)

No. Users can work in their own language. The DeepL integration ensures that content is automatically translated and is understandable to everyone involved.

#### 11. Do I need to install a separate app or plugin to use the DeepL integration?(cbe1854b7d691e932)

No. The translation function is integrated directly into the Opti.Tax Cloud. Users do not need to install any additional software or use external translation tools.

#### 12. For which organisations is the DeepL integration particularly useful?(0ca2272ca586fafff)

This integration is particularly useful for international companies, tax departments and compliance teams with offices in different countries. It enables processes, documentation and communication to be managed centrally, whilst all those involved can work in their own language.

#### 13. Does machine translation replace a professional review?(5662ad875dfff913b)
