# Translation
|
|
|
|
Linnet can translate session transcripts via the DeepL API. Translation is available on all tiers; the difference is where the API key comes from.
|
|
|
|
## How to translate a session
|
|
|
|
1. Open a session from [Session History](session-history.md) or after ending a live session
|
|
2. Click **Translate**
|
|
3. Select the target language
|
|
4. Linnet sends the transcript text (not audio) to DeepL and returns a translated version
|
|
|
|
The translated transcript is saved alongside the original. Tone labels are preserved and displayed against the translated text.
|
|
|
|
## Tier differences
|
|
|
|
| Tier | DeepL key source |
|
|
|------|-----------------|
|
|
| Free (BYOK) | Your own DeepL API key (set `DEEPL_API_KEY` in `.env`) |
|
|
| Paid | CF-managed key, no setup needed |
|
|
|
|
BYOK = bring your own key. DeepL's free tier covers 500,000 characters per month — enough for most personal use.
|
|
|
|
## Getting a free DeepL API key
|
|
|
|
1. Go to [deepl.com](https://www.deepl.com/en/pro/change-plan) and sign up for a free account
|
|
2. Navigate to **Account** then **DeepL API** and copy your Authentication Key
|
|
3. Open your Linnet `.env` file and add:
|
|
```dotenv
|
|
DEEPL_API_KEY=your-authentication-key-here
|
|
```
|
|
4. Restart Linnet
|
|
|
|
## Supported languages
|
|
|
|
Translation supports all languages in DeepL's catalog. The target language list in Linnet's UI reflects DeepL's current supported outputs. See [DeepL's supported languages](https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019925219) for the full list.
|
|
|
|
## Privacy note
|
|
|
|
Translation sends transcript text to DeepL's servers. Audio is never transmitted. If your session contains sensitive content, review DeepL's [data privacy policy](https://www.deepl.com/en/privacy/) before using translation.
|
|
|
|
For fully private operation, skip translation or run a local translation model — self-hosted translation support is on the roadmap.
