How to choose a translation model and protect terms from translation in AnyLinga

Updated: 2026-10-17

Should you choose DeepL or ChatGPT for translation? In AnyLinga, you can choose an engine for Kommo conversations and add brand, product, and plan names to the translation glossary.

Protected terms stay untranslated in incoming and outgoing messages. These settings apply to the entire account.

What you'll need

  • An AnyLinga account where you configure translation for Kommo.
  • A plan that includes translation — check the plans.
  • Names you want to keep untranslated, such as SunVilla, ProMax 300, or Gold Plan.

How to choose DeepL or ChatGPT

DeepL is selected by default. In the dashboard, it is described as a nearly instant, simpler option for everyday conversations. ChatGPT is slower but handles terms and details more accurately. The speed estimates of ~0.3s and ~2s come from the dashboard labels and are not guaranteed translation times.

One selection applies to the entire account: all channels and all incoming and outgoing messages. The cost is the same: one translated message uses 1 credit, regardless of the engine or message length. Learn more about translation credits.

1. Open translation settings

  • Click Settings — the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar.
  • Go to the Language & Time tab.
  • Find the Translation model row.
The “Translation model” row appears only on a plan that includes translation.

2. Choose an engine

  • Open the list in the Translation model row.
  • Select DeepL · fast (~0.3s) for everyday conversations or ChatGPT · accurate (~2s) when accuracy with terms and details matters more.
The “Translation model” row with the list open, showing “DeepL · fast (~0.3s)” and “ChatGPT · accurate (~2s)”.
Both engines use Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and American English. ChatGPT keeps brand names unchanged and writes personal names using the alphabet of the target language.

What happens if an engine fails

If the selected engine returns an error or responds in the wrong language, AnyLinga automatically sends the message to the other engine.

If both engines fail, the original text is delivered. Learn more about how translation works.

How to keep a brand name untranslated

On the Language & Time tab, find the Protected terms card. Add words you want to keep untranslated, such as brand, product, or plan names.

3. Add a protected term

  • In the Enter term... field, enter a name, such as SunVilla, ProMax 300, or Gold Plan.
  • Click Add or press Enter.
The “Protected terms” card: gray global terms, custom terms with “×”, the “Enter term...” field, and the “Add” button.
You can add up to 50 terms per account, each up to 100 characters long. When you reach the limit, “Maximum 50 terms allowed” appears. If you add a duplicate, “Term already exists” appears.

4. Remove a term you no longer need

  • Find your term in the Protected terms card.
  • Click × on the term's tag.
Gray “Global terms” cannot be removed: they always apply. These include AnyLinga, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, and DeepL.

5. Check a new message in Kommo

  • Open a Kommo chat with a new translated message containing the term you added.
  • Check that the name remains exactly as the customer or sales rep wrote it.

How protected terms work

Matching uses whole words and is case-insensitive. The term itself is preserved exactly as the customer or sales rep wrote it. This rule applies to incoming and outgoing messages.

If a message consists only of protected terms, links, or phone numbers, it is not translated.

Changes apply immediately to new messages. Messages already delivered are not translated again.

The glossary limit is 50 terms per account and 100 characters per term.
