For applications like language translation they're the best automated tools we have. But its too little to justify how over extended the investment into it is.

Would DeepL actually be considered an LLM?

Yes. An LLM is just a model trained on a large corpus of text, which DeepL absolutely is. It uses a transformer architecture – which literally could not work without it.

Thanks. And it's indeed very good from my experience.

Google Translate has the pronunciation database (a separate project) and the ability to translate from whole images, but it's pretty clearly not as good.

The wikipedia page says that exactly how they work is proprietary, so who really knows.
