Automatic Translation Management System for Legal Texts

This paper presents the automatic transla-tion management system known as TransLI developed for machine translation of Court judgments from English to French and from French to English. NLP’s solution addresses our clientele’s volume and time management issues. TransLI’s statistical algorithm has been trained on a large cor-pus of legal documents as to significantly reduce production time and costs. We de-scribe the importance of review and post-editing mechanisms for judicial translations as part of the SMT-integrated workflow. This system is already being used by sever-al government departments in Canada.
