Legal and contract translation
The most important sentence first: a machine translation is not legal advice and does not replace a qualified legal translator. For signing, litigation or regulatory filing, have a professional review and finalise it.
Within that limit, what Geyi is actually good for on contracts is clear: reading incoming foreign-language terms quickly, producing a structurally complete editable draft, and producing a copy that makes clause-by-clause comparison fast.
What structure survives
- Clause numbering and hierarchy: the relationship between clauses and sub-clauses is kept.
- Tables: schedules and rate tables are not flattened, and cells are handled individually.
- Definitions: a glossary can fix the rendering of defined terms so one word is not translated three ways across clauses.
- Scanned contracts: recognised before translation, with multi-column and unusual layouts read in the right order.
Reviewing clause by clause
Tick bilingual output for an extra PDF and Word pair with the two interleaved. During review the source clause sits directly above the line you are checking, with no hunting between two files.
Every translated paragraph also carries its source page for checking back against the original.
How the files are handled
Contracts are usually confidential. The security page sets out encrypted transport, jobs tied to your account, retention by plan tier (7 / 30 / 60 days) and clearance once that period ends. To delete or access sooner, email support@geyi.net; the commitment is 30 days.
Frequently asked questions
Can a machine translation be signed?
No. It is not legal advice; formal use requires review and sign-off by a qualified professional.
Does clause numbering survive?
Numbering and hierarchy are kept. Layout-preserving leaves the page untouched; AI reflow rebuilds the layout while preserving the numbering levels.
How are defined terms kept consistent?
Pin them in the personal glossary so one set of renderings applies across the document.
Can scanned contracts be handled?
Yes, through AI reflow, which recognises the text first. Clean print reads best; handwritten annotations need checking by a person.
Where are files stored and for how long?
Retention depends on your plan — 7 days on Free, 30 on Research and 60 on Professional — and files are cleared once that period ends. See the security page and privacy policy.
Can you provide certified translations?
No. Certification and stamping are not offered; for certified documents, use an accredited translation provider.
