Evidence for review

What DD can show before a buyer commits.

This is not a public case study claim. It is DD-owned evidence a buyer can request when the work needs vendor review before a scope is approved.

Ask for proof details
Buyer type
Contract translation services buyer, vendor manager, or operations lead qualifying DD before sending a live requirement.
Problem
The buyer needs scope contract translation with contract type, jurisdiction, and terminology source settled first. scoped by files, audience, language pair, deadline, recipient rules, and review process before quote approval.
Scope
Contract translation services work coordinated by DD with written request review, named PM ownership, and review records matched to the request type.
Constraint
This page cannot rely on a public case study yet; it must point to DD-owned proof artifacts and disclosure-safe process evidence.
DD action
DD confirms the inputs, missing details, staffing option, quality check, and delivery record before production work begins.
Evidence available
Private proof can include a request-specific checklist, redacted QA summary format, delivery record format, and sourcing or reviewer notes.
Outcome
The buyer can judge whether DD fits the requirement before sending production files or adding this service to a vendor shortlist.
Disclosure status
DD-owned proof only. Public outcomes require client approval; redacted process artifacts can be shared when terms allow.

How the work runs

  1. Scope the program

    Contract type, governing-law jurisdiction, certified-translation requirement, terminology source, and ISO 17100 scope settled in writing first.

  2. Set up the legal CAT tool

    SDL Trados, memoQ, or Phrase configured with the legal termbase and prior contract TM active. Defined terms list locked in.

  3. Translate against defined terms

    Legal-qualified translator works in-tool with defined terms applied automatically across every clause, schedule, and exhibit.

  4. Run the ISO 17100 reviser-reviewer pass

    Second-pass legal-qualified reviser plus final reviewer QA against terminology, party names, clause numbering, and jurisdiction conventions.

  5. Certify and deliver

    Notarized translation, apostille, or sworn translator certification per jurisdiction. Translated contract returned with TMX and TBX updated for future rounds.

Each contract translation program starts with a written specification confirming contract type (NDA, MSA, employment, vendor, supply, distribution, licensing, commercial sale, partnership), governing-law jurisdiction (US state law, UK, EU member state, common law country, civil law country), legal-translator qualification expectation, certified-translation requirement (notarized, apostilled, sworn translator per jurisdiction), termbase source (client legal termbase, prior contract translations, or termbase build), translation memory source, and reviewer-level QA (ISO 17100 reviser pass for legal content). Source files are processed in the CAT tool with the project legal termbase active so defined terms, party names, and clause numbering stay consistent across the contract.

For document work, DD checks the receiving office, file condition, certificate wording, handling needs, and file format.

Questions teams ask first

Which contract types are supported?

Coverage spans NDAs and confidentiality agreements, Master Services Agreements (MSAs) and SOWs, vendor and supply contracts, distribution and licensing agreements, employment contracts and severance agreements, commercial sale agreements, partnership and joint-venture agreements, IP assignment agreements, and lease and real-estate contracts. The contract type is confirmed in scoping so a translator with the matching jurisdiction-and-content-type qualification is assigned.

Is notarized or sworn translation supported?

Yes. Notarized translation (notary public attests the translator's signature) is supported for US filings. Apostille support is available for cross-border use under the Hague Apostille Convention. Sworn translator certification is supported for jurisdictions that maintain a sworn translator register (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Russia, Japan, and others). The certification level is confirmed per program scope.

How is defined-term consistency maintained across a contract?

Defined terms (party names, product names, output item names, technical specifications) are captured in a project termbase active in the CAT tool during translation. The same defined term always maps to the same target translation across every clause, schedule, and exhibit. The termbase is reused for subsequent contract rounds with the same parties so version-over-version consistency holds.

How are tracked-change revisions handled?

Tracked-change contract revisions are processed against the existing translation memory so only the changed text is re-translated. The delta is delivered as a tracked-change document in the target language matching the source revision pattern, so client legal teams can review only the changed clauses rather than re-reading the full contract.

Is ISO 17100 attestation available for contract translation?

Yes. ISO 17100 attestation of the translator-reviser-reviewer 3-step flow is available when the program scope confirms it. The reviser is a legal-qualified second translator who reviews the full target text against the source before the reviewer QA pass. The attestation is recorded per program rather than applied generically across all contract work.
