Description

DeepL has a [free plan up to 500,000 characters per month](https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021200939-DeepL-API-Free). Could it be possible to integrate its API in the lyrics plugin?

Looking at the documentation, only the Azure Translator resource is currently supported, but by looking it up I saw that it is a pay as you go service with a free trial, so DeepL could be a better choice. What do you think?

Research direction

Start by locating the lyrics plugin and its existing Azure Translator integration, then read the DeepL API documentation linked in the issue. Done should mean the plugin can use DeepL's free API for lyrics translation with its configuration and usage limits addressed.
