Litigation & eDiscovery translation, sized for discovery volume
Discovery doesn’t arrive as one clean document — it arrives as a set, on a court-imposed schedule, with confidentiality on the line. This service is sized for that: a 2,000-word minimum, per-word pricing, and a process built for volume, not a relabeled retail product.

Who it's for
- A
You’re litigation support staff, a paralegal, or outside counsel managing foreign-language document review and production for discovery.
- B
Your document set includes correspondence, contracts, or records in a language your review team can’t triage without translation first.
- C
You’re working against a court-imposed production schedule and need a translation timeline that’s realistic and stated upfront, not discovered after the fact.
- D
Confidentiality control matters for this document set as much as translation accuracy does.
What's included
Included

How this works
- 01
Scope the volume
Tell us the approximate word count and languages involved; the order form totals the price for the full set.
- 02
Triage and assignment
Documents are grouped by language and subject matter and assigned to translators fluent in the relevant register (commercial, financial, technical).
- 03
Volume translation with terminology control
A shared glossary is applied across the set so the same term translates the same way in every document.
- 04
Independent QA review
A second reviewer spot-checks accuracy and terminology consistency across the batch before delivery.
- 05
Delivery to your timeline
Files delivered in the format your review platform needs, on the schedule confirmed at order time.

Why us, for this document type
Sized for volume, not relabeled retail
The 2,000-word minimum is the pricing model itself signaling this is built for discovery quantities, not a one-off certified document with a bigger number.
Confidential by policy
Documents are handled by a limited team and retained only as long as needed to complete and support your order; an NDA is available on request.
Terminology held constant across the set
A defined term or party name translates the same way in document 3 and document 300 of the same production.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the minimum order for litigation translation?
2,000 words per order — sized for real discovery volume rather than a single short document. If your set is smaller, our per-page certified or per-word contract services may be a better fit.
Can you sign an NDA before we send documents?
Yes — an NDA is available on request for litigation, patent, and corporate work. Ask when you place your order or contact us directly.
How do you handle a large document set with mixed languages?
Tell us the languages and approximate volume for each when you order; we group and assign by language and translate the full set under one order, with consistent terminology across all of it.
Can you meet a court-imposed production deadline?
Tell us the deadline when you order — rush pricing applies to litigation orders the same way it does elsewhere; for larger sets under a hard deadline, contact us directly to confirm feasibility before you commit.
What file formats can you deliver for our eDiscovery platform?
Tell us the format your platform needs (PDF, Word, or a specific export format) and we’ll match it — we deliver translated files; loading them into your platform is on your side.
How is pricing calculated for a large batch?
Per word of source text, at $0.16/word, totaled across the full document set — the order form shows the running total as you add documents.
