Important cautions
- Court records are high-risk and should receive human legal-language review.
- The product should position the output as a reviewable translated PDF, not legal advice.
Certification boundary
Court and civil registry requirements vary widely; some destinations require sworn or locally licensed translators.
How the document flow works
- Upload the source file.The app reads the actual page count and file type before checkout.
- Preserve the structure.Text is translated separately from layout so tables, fields, labels, and signatures stay reviewable.
- Confirm important details.Names, official spellings, dates, and terminology are confirmed before the final PDF is generated.
- Download the final PDF.The output is prepared for human review and sign-off when your destination workflow requires it.
What you receive
- A final translated official document PDF with the original document structure kept visible.
- A clean regenerated layout that is meant to be reviewed as the single source of truth.
- A correction loop for official names, spelling preferences, and terminology.
- Optional reviewer sign-off by a competent human signer when needed.
Before you upload
- Use a clear scan or original PDF when possible; blurry photos make OCR and layout reconstruction less reliable.
- Keep every page in the same order the receiving agency expects.
- Have passport spellings, official romanization, or preferred name spellings ready if names appear in multiple forms.
- Make sure labels, signatures, registry numbers, and tables are visible.
