Question 1

Why use your services instead of translating independently with AI?

Accepted Answer

Excellent question! While artificial intelligence is an impressive technology, it’s not a magic solution for producing professional translations. AI systems cannot ensure confidentiality, which is vital in any sensitive or privileged contexts. They also lack the judgement and nuance needed to capture the full meaning of complex legal language, often containing omissions, additions, misunderstandings, inaccuracies, hallucinations, and over-interpretations that require careful human review and correction. In other words, AI can assist, but it cannot replace human expertise, judgement, and accountability.

Question 2

Why Choose Legal Translations Ltd.?

Accepted Answer

Because we are Israel’s leading provider of legal, financial, and business translations.Our translators are handpicked through a rigorous screening process, extensive training, and ongoing quality control. All our translators are qualified lawyers and experts in legal and business translation, bringing decades of collective experience working with legal translations. We take pride in the high retention of our translators, ensuring consistency and continuity across long-term engagements. When we translate, clients gain the benefit of an additional legal eye, capable of identifying issues in the source document and flagging them even before the document is finalized, and potentially saving costly or embarrassing errors.

Question 3

How much does a translation cost?

Accepted Answer

Our fees depend on the length of the document, the urgency of the work, and the seniority of the translator assigned – a hierarchy similar to that between a law firm partner and an associate.
