Workflow

- ActionClip sends the selection to DeepL and opens the app for you.

Before you add it
Requirements and privacy
- Before you start: Install DeepL for Mac and open it once. Enable Translate with DeepL in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services > Text. Enable Online Actions in ActionClip. No API key is needed.
- Your selected text: Passes only selected text to DeepL through a private local service pasteboard. DeepL sends text to its translation service under your DeepL settings and account. Your clipboard is unchanged.
Nothing is sent until you click the action. ActionClip never runs this integration quietly in the background.
