By combining the use of translation memories, legal-specific terminology and machine translation engine training, we ensure optimum results and the highest possible quality output.

Machine translation is ideal for large volumes of legal documents, for example in the e-discovery stage, so you’ll be able to quickly understand the gist of the translated material and keep working.
