Illustrative preview · Not a certified legal translation
CONTRACT-SPECIFIC RISKS
Small wording changes can alter legal meaning.
The draft must make it easy for a qualified reviewer to compare every obligation with the source.
02
Nested numbering
Clauses, subclauses and schedules lose value if references no longer point to the right place.
03
Modality and exceptions
Obligations, permissions, exclusions and carve-outs require human legal judgment.
TERMINOLOGY EXAMPLE
Lock down repeated legal terms.
A legal preset or custom glossary helps reviewers avoid chasing inconsistent equivalents across a long agreement.
Example only. Legal equivalents depend on jurisdiction, governing law and the parties' drafting conventions.

FAQ
Contract translation FAQ
Can TransQ translate a scanned contract?
Scanned PDFs can be processed, but scan quality affects text recognition and layout. Check every page of the preview and final draft carefully.
Will clause numbering be preserved?
The workflow aims to retain visible document structure, but complex numbering and cross-references must be verified against the source.
Can this replace a lawyer or certified translator?
No. Use the result as a draft for qualified legal and linguistic review, especially for signing, filing or regulated use.
Can I keep company names and defined terms unchanged?
A custom glossary can specify preferred translations or terms that should remain unchanged, subject to plan availability.
