I created a post with the same content
Then duplicated to the EN version.
then translated it to
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Text for testing.</p><!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Text for testing.</p><!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Text for testing.</p><!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

The log was ok as well

Do you use the Pro extension ?
Is there something that could trigger when the translation is launched ?
The plot thickens.
I deactivated all plugins but DeepL on my test site.
Then translated EN > FR
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bienvenue sur WordPress. Ceci est votre premier article. Vous pouvez le modifier ou le supprimer, puis commencer à rédiger.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cependant, cela ne fonctionne pas lorsque vous ajoutez un autre paragraphe.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
Works both with Classic and Gutenberg editor.
The test site is connected to the free server.
Happy to provide you with a free-tier API token.
Apologies, is that an underscore between “my” and “handle”, a dash, a dot or just nothing?
It is fixed in 2.6.1
Fix for DeepL tag_handling v2 compatibility. New DeepL accounts use tag handling v2 by default, which caused “text without parent” errors on Gutenberg content with multiple blocks. Translation now works seamlessly on both v1 and v2 accounts.
