INCHEON, South Korea -- AI-powered translation platform DeepL is looking to Taiwan as its next promising Asian market, after Japan and South Korea, the company's CEO told Nikkei Asia.

Jarek Kutylowski said the company is monitoring how the traditional Chinese version of its text-based translation service is being received in Taiwan since its launch in July. Traditional Chinese is the primary form of written communication in Taiwan, while simplified Chinese is used in mainland China.
