Translation tools turn text from one language into another. Whatever you paste in, the service sees. European tools handle that under EU law. DeepL, from Germany, is widely seen as one of the best translators in the world. LanguageTool checks and improves your writing in many languages. Your text stays under European rules, not on a US server.
