Machine translation

The Machine translation page, located under Project Settings > Everlaw AI, allows you to enable non-English language translation. Translation can be set to one of the following:

• Google Translate (the platform default)
• AWS Translate
• No translation (disables machine translation entirely) 

By default, Everlaw uses Google’s enterprise translation API for generating translations. Google does not permanently store any data in relation to its enterprise translation services. If you select Google Cloud Translate and you are an EU or UK customer, your translation data will be routed through the EU Endpoint instead of the global or US endpoint.

To learn about Google’s data confidentiality policies, visit their FAQ on data confidentiality.

You can also choose to set your project’s translation provider to Amazon Translate.  To learn about Amazon’s data confidentiality policies, visit their FAQ on data privacy. Everlaw has opted out of having user translation data used to develop Translate and other AWS AI tools.

In order to search for non-English languages in Everlaw, you must add the language in Language Tools. Type the name of one of the supported languages into the bar underneath “Expected Languages.” This will populate the “Language” search term with your expected languages and allow the system to search for documents in those languages.

Everlaw's translation search capability performs best with documents that contain long sections of contiguous text that are in the same language. For example, if you have a document that is nearly completely in English with a handful of Spanish words interspersed throughout, the system will have a more difficult time picking up on the non-English content than if the document had entire paragraphs in Spanish.

Everlaw can translate any language supported by our translation API.
