Arguments

text	A character vector containing the texts to classify. Only UTF-8 encoded plain text is supported. Each element may contain multiple sentences but should not exceed 30 kB.
auth_key	A string representing the authentication key for the DeepL API Free. If not provided, the function will attempt to retrieve the key from the environment variable DEEPL_API_KEY.
