First-pass Translation That Keeps Legal Formatting

Bluente's layout-aware engine specifically recognizes and preserves complex legal numbering systems, section hierarchies, and document structures during translation. Unlike generic translators, our AI maintains the exact placement and formatting of numbered lists, sub-clauses, articles, and hierarchical legal sections—ensuring that references and cross-references remain accurate in the translated version. This preservation extends to tables, charts, footnotes, and document styles critical in legal documents.

Bluente supports all major file formats commonly used in legal settings, including PDF (both native and scanned with OCR capability), Word documents (DOCX), PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), Excel spreadsheets (XLSX), and images (JPG/PNG/TIFF). Our system also handles XML, JSON, TXT, and CSV files. This comprehensive format support ensures that regardless of how legal documents are provided—whether as contracts, evidence, filings, or presentations—they can be translated while maintaining their original structure.

Bluente employs enterprise-grade security measures to protect sensitive legal materials. All documents are processed with encryption, and automatic file deletion occurs after processing. This approach ensures that confidential client information, proprietary contract terms, and sensitive case materials remain protected throughout the translation process. Our security standards are designed to meet the stringent confidentiality requirements of legal professionals handling privileged and sensitive information.

Yes, Bluente features advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology specifically designed for legal document translation. This capability converts non-selectable text in scanned PDFs and images into editable, searchable, and translatable content while preserving the original layout. This is particularly valuable for legal teams working with court filings, evidence, historical documents, and signed contracts that are only available as scans or images.

Bluente generates bilingual, side-by-side outputs that place original and translated content together for efficient comparative review. Our system also preserves tracked changes and comments where applicable, enabling seamless cross-border collaboration between legal teams. These review-ready outputs significantly accelerate the verification process for translated legal documents, making it easier to spot potential issues or discrepancies between original and translated versions.

Bluente can translate large files and multi-document batches within minutes rather than days or weeks required by traditional services. This speed is particularly crucial for time-sensitive legal workflows such as M&A due diligence, eDiscovery, and court filing deadlines. Our platform scales to handle document volumes of any size while maintaining translation quality and formatting integrity throughout the process.
