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. Each project is accompanied by a detailed and transparent price quote. If you are willing to waive confidentiality and allow the use of AI tools, we may be able to offer a more cost-effective proposal.

Question 4

How long does it take to receive the translation?

Accepted Answer

The turnaround time depends on the scope and urgency of the work. Each quote includes several delivery options for the client to choose from, each with its corresponding rate.

Question 5

Can we trust you with confidential documents?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. As lawyers, we fully understand the importance of safeguarding confidentiality. Rest assured, confidentiality is deeply embedded in the DNA of Legal Translations Ltd. The vast majority of our work is confidential, and we meticulously maintain the strictest standards of data protection and discretion.

Question 6

Question 7

Do you provide notarized translations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do – at the standard rates set by the Ministry of Justice.

Question 8

Do you provide translation verification services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upon advance request, we provide a signed letter on our company letterhead verifying the accuracy of the translation. This is not notarization, but it suffices for many purposes and is significantly more economical.

Question 9

Do you use AI technologies in your translation process?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We incorporate AI technologies proactively and responsibly to enhance speed and cost-efficiency, but strictly as a supervised auxiliary tool.
All the advantages of AI are retained, while all legal risks are neutralized through our expertise:

Prompt Engineering: Our translators, all qualified lawyers, are experts in crafting precise prompts to obtain the highest-quality AI-generated drafts. We select the most suitable AI tool for each specific assignment.

Verification: We specialize in transforming AI output into a meticulous, accurate, and reliable translation, providing the human insight and oversight that AI can never replicate.

Confidentiality: AI tools are used only after obtaining the client’s explicit written waiver of confidentiality. Confidentiality, transparency, and professional responsibility remain paramount at Legal Translations Ltd.
