Integration of DeepL in Content Translation has been requested several times as part of user feedback, mailing list messages, and the community wishlist process.
Based on the input, it seems that DeepL provides high quality translations for the languages it supports (26 languages as of now). Although it may not cover new languages compared to the existing services available in Content Translation it may be worth considering because of the quality improvements.

I've seen several user feedbacks indicating that the quality of Deepl is much more advanced than other engines offer, to the point of not using the Content translation tool only because Deepl is not available in it.
I saw someone who developed its own wikipedia translator tool around Deepl API, indicating that "google's and Microsoft's translators are years behind Deepl".
