Client: A Century-Old American Law Firm
Project Overview: We were commissioned by a renowned American law firm with over a century of history to translate several dozen Chinese domestic policies and regulations related to cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, new energy, and robotics. These documents spanned multiple disciplines, each differing greatly in content and focus, with little to no connection between them.
Challenges:
- Multidisciplinary Complexity: The documents encompassed a wide range of topics, each requiring a deep understanding of specific technical fields beyond standard legal expertise.
- Rarity of Qualified Translators: Translating such interdisciplinary content accurately into English required professionals who not only understood the legal language but were also proficient in the specialized technical domains involved.
- Consistency and Logical Flow: The diversity in subject matter made it difficult to maintain consistent terminology and logical flow across all documents without specialized knowledge.
Solutions:
- Specialized Team Assembly: We assigned the entire translation project to team members with strong multidisciplinary backgrounds, ensuring that both legal and technical terminologies were accurately translated without losing coherence.
- Integrated Workflow: By avoiding the division of the documents into technical and non-technical parts, we maintained consistency in terminology and logical clarity across all translations.
- Collaborative Approach: Our translators worked in close collaboration, ensuring that each document’s specific content was understood and translated accurately, avoiding any potential misinterpretations.
Outcome: The entire translation project took three months to complete. The client was extremely satisfied with the precision and clarity of the translations and praised our ability to handle such complex interdisciplinary legal documents. They expressed their eagerness to collaborate with us on future projects, recognizing our expertise in translating complex legal content across multiple disciplines.
