1. 01Choose the source and target language and enter text; the page handles at most 3,000 JavaScript characters.
2. 02When DeepL is configured it is called first; a failure falls back to MyMemory automatically.
3. 03Read the translation and copy it; if the result looks wrong, shorten the text or try again later.

• MyMemory splits the text into sentences and keeps each segment at about 450 UTF-8 bytes, then requests the segments in turn and concatenates the results.
• The current DeepL timeout is about 10 seconds; a failure falls back, so the final translation may come from a different service path.
• The page notes an anonymous MyMemory allowance of about 5,000 characters/day; the real limit is set by the third party and can change.
• Automatic translation can misread proper nouns, formatting, code and legal or medical context, and must not be used directly as a high-stakes professional conclusion.

• Good for ordinary short passages, UI copy and getting the gist quickly.
• Confidential contracts, passwords and access tokens should not be submitted to a public translation API.

The text being translated and the source and target languages are sent to the third party that actually handles the request. The DeepL path also carries the API key configured in the app; the MyMemory path puts the text in URL query parameters.
