When translating with the DeepL API, you can customize translation results by specifying a glossary.
This allows you to prevent specific words from being translated or replace specific words with other specific words.
For example, in this code, we specify that the word Hello should be replaced with ハロー (the katakana version).
Normally, when translating with the DeepL API, the sentence Hello, world! would be translated to こんにちは、世界！, but by specifying a glossary, it becomes ハロー、世界！.
Example Node.js Program Using Glossary
The following program creates a glossary with translator.createGlossary() and uses translator.translateText() to translate with the created glossary.
The Node.js package used is "deepl-node": "^1.13.0".
Below is the code and its output:
- Node.js program code
(async () => {
const resNormal = await translator.translateText(`Hello, world!`, 'en', 'ja');
console.log("Translation result without glossary:");
console.log(resNormal.text);
const pairs = {
source: "Hello",
target: "ハロー",
}
// Create a glossary

const res = await translator.translateText(`Hello, world!`, 'en', 'ja', { glossary, });
console.log("Translation result with glossary:");
console.log(res.text);
- Output result
Translation result without glossary:
こんにちは、世界よ！
Translation result with glossary:
ハロー、世界よ！That’s it.
