Introducing Translation API: Break Language Barriers in Legal Tech

Neural machine translation for 100+ languages, built for legal documents

·Scott Kveton

Summary

We're excited to announce the Translation API, the newest addition to the case.dev platform. With support for over 100 languages and specialized handling of legal terminology, the Translation API enables legal tech developers to build truly global applications.


The Challenge

Legal work increasingly crosses borders. International contracts, multi-jurisdictional disputes, and global compliance requirements mean legal teams need to work with documents in dozens of languages. But existing translation tools weren't built for legal:

  • Generic translations miss legal nuances and terminology
  • Manual translation is slow and expensive
  • Multiple vendor integrations create complexity and security risks

The Solution

The case.dev Translation API solves these challenges with:

Neural Machine Translation

State-of-the-art neural models trained on legal corpora deliver accurate, context-aware translations that understand legal terminology.

100+ Languages

From major languages like Spanish, French, German, and Chinese to less common ones, we've got you covered for global legal operations.

Automatic Language Detection

Don't know the source language? Our API automatically detects it and translates to your target language.

Simple, Unified API

One endpoint, consistent pricing, enterprise security. No need to manage multiple translation vendors.


Quick Start

from casemark import CaseMark

client = CaseMark(api_key="case_sk_live_YOUR_KEY")

result = client.translate.translate(
    text="This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.",
    target_language="es"
)

print(result.translated_text)
# "Este Acuerdo se regirá por las leyes del Estado de Delaware."

Pricing

Translation is priced at 3 credits per 1,000 characters — simple and predictable. With our credit-based model, you only pay for what you use.
