[…] For some lawsuits, translating every single page in every box of documents isn’t the way to overcome a language barrier during discovery. Caitilin Walsh authors a great post for the ��’s web-based outreach publication The ATA Compass on how one smart law firm partnered with a savvy language service provider to comb through tens of thousands of pages written in French to find that one crucial piece of evidence. And they did it without breaking the client’s bank or exhausting the LSP’s linguistic resources. Learn more here. […]

Sometimes, though, there are reasons why the whole lot does need to be translated... see http://www.daytranslations.com/translation-news/arabic-to-bulgarian-translation-of-religious-texts-to-be-presented-in-religious-trial-23095

In reply to Karen Tkaczyk. Thank you Karen! That's a very interesting insight about the USPTO rule changes...we'll have to see how that plays out!

Great example of a compatible customer and service provider working well together. All the discovery document translation I’ve done over the years has been for patent litigation cases. I wonder how the new USPTO rules that came into force on March 2013 (first-to-file instead of first-to-invent being the key change) will affect technical and patent translators. I can imagine translating fewer boxes of lab notebooks in an effort to find the key piece of discovery information, which was often required until now. Instead, I think we will translate more published prior art before filing and for litigation cases, as proving novelty will become so important, and the prior art in any language counts under the new system.

This is a creative solution to the machine translation/polished human translation dichotomy. There are really situations where something in-between is needed and this translation company was creatively thinking outside the box to supply that needed service.
