As of march 14th 2025, DeepL will deprecate some API functions the plugin was using. UPDATE the plugin to 1.3.4 else the DeepL will refuse to translate.

Please report any issue using the Github repo https://github.com/brunobaudry/moodle-local_deepler/issues. DO NOT use the messaging tool bellow as we cannot manage the statuses and histrory.

Deepler is developed for those who want to translate a course all on one page without having to navigate to each module and update translations. Translation workflow being the following:

  1. Set the main source language by selecting Moodle's Language (user profile menu)
  2. Select the target language.
  3. Fine tune your ©Deepl's settings. 
  4. Select the source language (Multiple source languages is available). 
  5. Choose all your course's activity text fields to translate. 
  6. Click Send to ©Deepl.
  7. Review and or amend automated translations. 
  8. Save translations to Moodle's DB individuallay or by batch in one click. 

Multi-Language Content (v2) is a dependency of this plugin and will not work without it, as well as a FREE or PRO ©DeeplAPI account.

files are currently not yet sent to DeepL for document translation, only activities and questions' text fields.

Potential privacy issues

The only privacy issue would be in your activity content with the Deepl API Free account. If you opt for a Deepl API pro subscription your data is in a sandbox. This plugin doesn't store nor transfer any other personal data.

    Hello Bruno, I tested this plugin and looks very interesting. However when clicking Save, I get the modal that things are being saved to the database. I let that modal stay for 10 minutes and more but nothing happens. I do not get things to be saved to the database. In debugging I get a warning where I do not think it is related. Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$translatedtablename in /data/www/mysite/public_html/local/deepler/classes/output/translate_form.php on line 120

    Hello Peter, yes issues shouldn't be related. Nevertheless we just published a new release v1.1 with code improvments in both areas : database calls and field names capturing. Let us know if it fixed it.

    Just testing this out, and so far impressed. With the book module, The title of the book and its description has been translated, but the actual pages within it haven't been translated - am I missing something, or is that a limitation of the plugin?

    @Bruno - I have set up a different course to test things, and I can see the book pages are showing correctly. However, I am having a problem now that the mechanism appears to be hanging with the screen that says

    'Please wait ...
    When all fields are saved in the database,
    I will automatically close
    If you are impatient, and want to close this window,
    make sure all selected translation's statuses are ....

    I don't seem to be able to get it to save the translations.

    Hi, I have a Pro subscription of Deepl, and I installed Deepl Translator in my Moodle 4.5.1, PHO 8.3.12.
    The plugin translates me only headers and not activities or anything else, could you help me?
    Obviously I installed the Moodle language packs and the plugin Multilingual Content (v2) (filter_multilang2) is also installed.
