Pitfalls to watch at work

DeepL

On the free version texts may be stored to improve the service: translate contracts and correspondence with details only on a paid plan
Legal terms are translated with a general dictionary: without a glossary "supplier" and "contractor" can swap midway through a document
Scanned PDFs without a text layer are translated with OCR errors, so run OCR first

Rossum

Rollout takes weeks: you need document samples and validation rules from accounting
Test documents in local languages and scripts in a pilot before signing an annual contract
Turn on posting without a person only for suppliers with an error-free history
