Under Settings > DeepL you enter a DeepL API key that lets Klacks automatically translate text — currently mainly incoming emails in the inbox.

How it works

API key: A single input field accepts the DeepL API key (format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx:fx for the free Free API, or without the :fx suffix for the paid Pro API). Klacks automatically detects from the :fx suffix which of the two DeepL API addresses to use — a separate switch between Free and Pro isn't needed. You get an account and the key itself at deepl.com/pro-api.

Usage: In the "Inbox," any email can be translated into the currently selected interface language via the translate icon; the original and the translation can be compared with a toggle. Without a stored key, this feature isn't available.

Good to know

  • This setting is global for the entire installation — there is no per-user key.
  • There is no dedicated "test" button on this page; whether the key works shows up on the first translation attempt in the inbox.
  • If the key is invalid or expired, Klacks detects this from DeepL's response (authentication error) and reports it instead of showing an empty or incorrect translation.
  • The key is stored encrypted and shown masked in the form.
