# DeepL provider for Strapi Translate Plugin

Configure the provider through the pluginOptions:

```js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  translate: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      // Choose one of the available providers
      provider: 'deepl',
      // Pass credentials and other options to the provider
      providerOptions: {
        // your API key - required and wil cause errors if not provided
        apiKey: 'key',
        // use custom api url - optional
        apiUrl: 'https://api-free.deepl.com',
        // use custom locale mapping (for example 'en' locale is deprecated so need to choose between 'EN-GB' and 'EN-US')
        localeMap: {
          // use uppercase here!
          EN: 'EN-US',
        },
        apiOptions: {
          // see <https://github.com/DeepLcom/deepl-node#text-translation-options> for supported options.
          // note that tagHandling Mode cannot be set this way.
          // use with caution, as non-default values may break translation of markdown
          formality: 'default',
          // ...
        },
      },
      // other options ...
    },
  },
  // ...
}
```

or use the default environment variables:

- `DEEPL_API_KEY` - default `undefined`
- `DEEPL_API_URL` - default `undefined`

## Limitations:

- Only the [deepl supported languages](https://www.deepl.com/docs-api/translating-text/request/) can be translated
- The API-Limits of DeepL ([size](https://www.deepl.com/de/docs-api/accessing-the-api/limits/), [number of fields](https://www.deepl.com/de/docs-api/translating-text/request/)) and [too many requests](https://www.deepl.com/de/docs-api/api-access/error-handling/) should be respected. If one field is larger than the request size limit, the content needs to be split and merged at some character, which may break the content layout!
