AI Makes Multi-Language Ediscovery as Easy as A, B, C
by Petra Pasternak
Ediscovery is hard enough in one language, with mountains of documents, myriad formats, and multilayered processes. Add documents in multiple languages and that difficult puzzle feels like being trapped in a sprawling maze.
Dealing with documents in a variety of languages dramatically escalates the time and cost of ediscovery. Hiring human translators with expertise in specific languages, contextual knowledge, and a deep understanding of legal issues can be prohibitively expensive. Securely sharing large volumes of highly sensitive documents and avoiding data breaches also creates formidable hurdles. And the entire translation process takes time.
This is exactly the kind of problem AI is supposed to solve. And it has. Everlaw has just released a new tool that handles translation challenges to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance security.

Everlaw Translation Brings AI to Bear
Everlaw Translation is a new feature that uses AI to expedite initial translation of high volumes of documents by creating translated text files that are stored alongside the original files. This feature integrates with Everlaw’s suite of advanced analytics and review tools, giving legal teams a powerful solution to tackle multilingual document reviews.
With Everlaw Translation, teams can:
Translate documents in bulk: Users translate large document sets quickly, enabling rapid identification of key documents for deeper analysis.
Leverage analytic and review tools: The platform’s advanced features help legal teams gain a clear understanding of translated content, allowing them to pinpoint critical information without delay.
Optimize human translation efforts: Once the most important documents are identified, translated text files can be exported in batches and sent to human translators for nuanced, contextually accurate translations.
This hybrid approach combines the speed of AI with the precision of human expertise, delivering the best of both worlds. As a result, legal teams experience:
Reduced Costs: AI-powered translation eliminates the need for full-scale human translation of every document, slashing costs significantly.
Improved Efficiency: Teams can begin reviewing documents almost immediately, cutting down on delays and expediting case progress.
Enhanced Security: With built-in security protocols, Everlaw ensures sensitive documents remain protected throughout the translation and sharing process.
By empowering legal teams to work smarter and faster, Everlaw Translation helps them stay ahead in high-stakes international cases.
Use Your Time (More) Wisely With Everlaw
Traditional methods of document translation cost a fortune, demand robust security measures, and consume weeks or months. Legal teams are left spending more time managing the process than focusing on the core issues in the matter.
It doesn’t have to be that way – and with Everlaw Translation, it won’t be. With AI powering an accelerated and more thorough multilingual ediscovery process, legal teams will streamline workflows and quickly identify the information that matters to winning a case.
