Contract translation is not just about accuracy. Layout consistency is critical for compliance and faster signing.

Key risk points

• Clause numbering shifts
• Missing headers, footers, or signature blocks
• Tables and appendices getting squeezed

7 essential practices

1. Lock clause structure and numbering early
2. Build a terminology glossary
3. Preserve fonts and paragraph styles
4. Control length and line breaks
5. Use structure-level reinsertion
6. Run compliance and consistency checks
7. Manually verify signature and stamp areas

Suggested workflow

1. Structure parsing → 2. Terminology prep → 3. Translation → 4. Reinsertion → 5. QA → 6. Delivery
