## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Translation for remote teams" splits into three different jobs, and the right pick depends on which one you have. Here's who I'd actually name for each.
> 
> ## Everyday text, docs, and internal comms
> 1. **DeepL Pro** - my default. Best-in-class quality on European languages, a real Teams/Slack/browser workflow, glossaries, and paid tiers where your text isn't used for training. Team is ~$28.74/user/mo annual (1M chars); Business ~$57.49/user/mo for effectively unlimited. Worth it over free tools mainly for the privacy terms and glossary control.
> 2. **Google Translate / Google Cloud Translation** - free for casual use, and if you need it inside your own tooling the API is ~$20 per million characters (LLM mode $10 in + $10 out). Broadest language coverage, so it's the fallback for anything DeepL doesn't support.
> 3. **ChatGPT or Claude** - not a "translation service," but for short Slack messages, tone-matching, and "make this sound natural to a German client," an LLM with context beats a raw MT engine. I'd use it alongside DeepL, not instead of.
> 
> ## Product, docs, and website localization (continuous, dev-adjacent)
> 4. **Lokalise** - best all-around if product, design, and marketing all
