Legal Case Translation Collaboration Case Study

This case study details the collaboration between LanguageLine Solutions and a leading law firm, focusing on their partnership since 2014 to provide translation services in the legal sector. The document outlines a specific high-profile case where LanguageLine utilized innovative technology to accelerate translation processes and achieve significant cost savings. The challenges included translating a mixture of non-editable scanned PDFs and various languages under tight deadlines. LanguageLine developed an optical character reader (OCR) tool to analyze and translate documents efficiently. The process involved identifying unique content for translation, deploying multiple linguists, and conducting independent proofreading to ensure quality. The case study highlights the successful completion of the first batch of translations within 30 working days, resulting in an 86% reduction in costs compared to traditional methods. It also notes the total translated word count exceeding 1.2 million words across multiple batches, showcasing the effectiveness of their collaborative approach and technology in meeting urgent legal translation needs.
