How to Legally Translate Documents with AI

For official purposes, a certified translation is typically required. This is performed by a professional reviewer who provides a signed statement attesting to the translation's accuracy. Smartcat's marketplace connects you with vetted legal reviewers who can provide this certification.

While technically possible, self-translated documents are almost never accepted for official matters like court proceedings or immigration. An impartial, certified translation from a third-party professional is required to ensure objectivity and accuracy.

The standard procedure is to obtain a certified translation. This involves having a professional reviewer translate the content and provide a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Smartcat streamlines this by pairing AI with expert reviewers who can issue the necessary certification.

Copyright law can be complex. Typically, the reviewer who creates the new translated version holds the copyright for that specific work. However, this does not affect the copyright of the original source document, and client agreements often stipulate that the final ownership belongs to the client who commissioned the work.

The process is the same for one page as it is for an entire file. You need to ensure the translation is accurate and, if required for official use, certified by a professional reviewer. Smartcat's platform is flexible enough to handle projects of any scale, from a single page to large volumes of documents.
