DeepL integration for Translator plugin

I hadn’t quite realized what I was taking on here.

At the current budget, I can offer a working fork that supports Deepl, but not code that is good enough for a PR to be included in the existing plugin. And Deepl looks a little dicey to me–like

  • it’s really hard to sign up–signing up for one kind of account won’t let you get an API key and there’s no way to change
  • the API call that returns the supported languages doesn’t return valid JSON (but all the other calls do?)
  • there are separate endpoints for the “free” (which I’m not convinced is free?) vs “pro” accounts

EDIT: but I see a bunch of people want this, so maybe Deepl is really great. :wink:
