I really want to make the complete switch to DeepL instead of Google Translate, but I can't figure out how to setup the URL for auto detecting language.
With https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=SEARCHTERM whatever word or sentence I input, it uses the "Detect language" option, which I know that DeepL has as an option for too. But I can't figure out what keyword to put in the DeepL url, for it to use the Detect Language option.
Here's English to Spanish: https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#en/es/SEARCHTERM

Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious due to having been down with the flu this past week.

EDIT - Also putting this here, from my later reply, for visibility:
Looks like the parameter used to be xx, but that it's been broken for some time now, if this exchange in January on stackoverflow.com is to be believed. Or the parameter was . and/or auto, according to this Reddit thread back in November, where they also talk about it being broken.

For me, just the default URL gives "detect language"... (https://www.deepl.com/en/translator).

Yes, if you go to the website, and start typing, it defaults to the Detect language option.
But what I'm talking about is customizing the url, so you don't need to go to the site, to start your search.

If you go to https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%C2%BFHola, cรณmo estรกs? it will automatically detect that the string is in Spanish, because of the auto in the url.

That's what I'm looking for with DeepL.

@riot @Blaze Well, #Vivaldi comes with build in translation feature: https://vivaldi.com/features/translate/

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

That is true, as do most browsers nowadays, including Firefox, now that I've ditched Chromium.

But we are discussing DeepL, and in that regard, my issue with the URL is that I am using the built-in browser search engine section, where you can setup your own url and write in a keyword. Then every time you type that keyword in the address bar, any term following it will be searched on the site, through the URL that you have provided.
There's more detail on that in this previous comment of mine, in reply to an earlier user who responded to my original comment.
