This article explains the features of the new LegalOn. For information on the current version’s product features, please refer to this page.
What is the Translation feature?
The Translation feature in LegalOn allows you to translate your uploaded contracts either in full or clause-by-clause.
You can translate between Japanese and English (or vice versa) depending on your contract’s language settings.
There are two translation modes:
Full document translation: Translate the entire contract in one step.
Clause-by-Clause translation: Translate individual clauses as you review or edit.
Important Notice
LegalOn does not guarantee the accuracy of translated content. Please review translations carefully and use them at your own discretion.
If you need a legal opinion on the translation, consult with your legal counsel.
Tables included in your contract body are not reflected in downloaded translation files.
Supported Languages:
Contracts marked as “Other” language cannot be translated.
The available target languages depend on the source language.
