Legal translation plays a central role in exchanges between legal professionals around the world. It ensures that legal texts are properly understood and applied between different jurisdictions. But translating legal documents remains a complex exercise, where every word has its importance. In this context, translation automation, supported by advanced technologies such as AI, is emerging as a key solution for increasing efficiency, while preserving the rigor required for this work.
With specialized tools such as Lexadesigned to meet the requirements of lawyers, notaries, jurists and legal departments, automation becomes a real performance driver. Let's take a look at the main advantages of this approach to legal translation.
Considerable time savings for legal professionals
Translating contracts, articles of association, court rulings or minutes can quickly become a time-consuming process, especially when dealing with long or complex texts. Automation can significantly speed up this process.
With Lexatranslations are completed in a matter of minutes, compared with several hours using traditional methods. This enables legal teams to concentrate on analyzing documents rather than translating them, while meeting the often tight deadlines of legal files.
Case in point:
When it comes to mergers and acquisitions, deadlines can be critical. Automating the translation of various documents (confidentiality agreements, acquisition contracts, minutes) helps to anticipate key stages and smooth exchanges between the parties.
Consistent terminology
One of the major risks in legal translation lies in terminological inconsistencies, which can have serious consequences for the interpretation of texts. Thanks to automation, terminologies are harmonized, document after document, through the use of specialized databases and integrated legal lexicons.
Lexa relies on official corpora and glossaries validated by legal experts, ensuring terminology stability across all translated documents, even in complex cases requiring several deliverables.
Enhanced security for data confidentiality
Automating translation doesn't mean skipping out on safety. Quite the contrary, in fact. Lexa has been designed to meet the most stringent data protection requirements:
- Secure hosting in Europe.
- RGPD compliance.
- No use of user data for AI training purposes without explicit consent.
- Strict access control to prevent information leaks.
This guarantees legal professionals that their sensitive documents - legal briefs, strategic contracts, confidential documents - remain protected throughout the translation process.
Adaptability to every area of law
Each legal specialty has its own specificities, uses and formulas. Automation via Lexa makes it possible to adapt translations to the precise context of each branch of law: commercial law, criminal law, corporate law, tax law, real estate law, etc.
Here are a few application examples:
- Employment law: Translation of employment contracts, letters of dismissal, collective agreements.
- Intellectual property law: Translation of licensing agreements, patents, trademark litigation.
- Real estate law: Translation of deeds of sale, commercial leases, diagnostic reports.
Thanks to this adaptability, legal professionals can rely on a tool that understands their challenges and constraints.
Closer collaboration between AI and human expertise
While automation speeds up the translation process and ensures consistency, it does not replace human expertise. Specialized translators are still essential for :
- Validate compliance with the legal subtleties specific to each case.
- Refine translation to ensure clarity and fluidity.
- Manage complex cases where automation is not enough.
Lexa includes a human proofreading phase, carried out by legal professionals who guarantee impeccable quality at every stage.
