Machine translation is sufficiently accurate for a first-pass review of your documents, to discern whether or not they are likely to be relevant. However, once you have identified relevant documents for inclusion in your trial bundle, witness statements, etc., you will need a meticulous human translation of the document, which can then be certified.

Machine Translation can be a cheaper solution because it involves automated processes that require less manual labor and human involvement. The technology can quickly process large volumes of text at a fraction of the time and cost that would be required for human translators to do the same work. This efficiency makes Machine Translation a cost-effective solution for certain types of documents and content. However, it is essential to keep in mind that while Machine Translation is faster and more affordable, it may not always produce the same level of accuracy and nuance as human translation, especially for complex or sensitive materials.

Google Translate is a simplistic tool that translates small amounts of text at one time. Using Google Translate will be considerably slower and vulnerable to inaccuracies. Other machine translator systems are capable of translating larger amounts of text. But they do not learn as they go. Our neural machine translation (NMT) becomes more accurate over time as it remembers corrections from human translators. Over time you receive more natural-sounding translations and translations that accord with the context of the document.

Yes. Potentially relevant documents can be missed in a disclosure review if they are in a language you don’t understand. A quick translation by machine is a cost-effective way to ensure that you’ve conducted a thorough review of all of the documents and discharged your duty to the court and your client.

Neural machine translation of editable texts takes minutes to complete, no matter how many pages you have. If time is the most crucial factor, then this is the fastest translation option. However, there are limitations, and quality can vary depending on which language pairs are supported. If you have dead PDFs, images, audio or video files, these take the same amount of time to prepare for machine translation as they do for human translation. Machine translation with post-editing (human review) can be up to 4x faster than human translation alone.

Machine Learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, powers automated translation solutions like Machine Translation (MT). By analyzing large amounts of bilingual data, MT systems learn language patterns to streamline the translation process with minimal human intervention. While MT is efficient for handling large volumes of text, it may not fully capture the accuracy and nuance of human translation. Therefore, human review remains essential to ensure high-quality results in the translation process.
