Compliance and reporting in 32 languages # 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? Watch the video to see how the DeepL integration is revolutionising the way international teams work.

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 ## How teamwork works without language barriers Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. ### 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.
