One of the more challenging consequences associated with growing ESI volumes in litigation is the increasing frequency and variety of foreign language documents. As business has become more international, so has litigation. From collection through to production, foreign language documents introduce vexing complexities that can confound existing workflows and spiral costs. However, litigation teams can leverage improved review technology to solve these important issues and reduce the time and expense of eDiscovery. http://lexbe.com/resources/ediscovery-webinars/integrated-foreign-language-document-review/?LEX=slideshare For a complete listing of our free onDemand presentations see our Lexbe eDiscovery Library here: http://www.lexbe.com/resources/ediscovery-webinars/?LEX=slideshare The Lexbe eDiscovery Library is an educational resource including webinars, presentations, MP3 podcasts and other materials covering a variety of practical subjects involving legal document management and e-Discovery.

8. The Foreign Language Challenge
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Factors Driving Increased Language Variability in Collections:
● Growing ESI volumes statistically increase the
likelihood of multiple languages in a collection
● Increasing foreign direct investment/involvement in
American corporate environment
● Globalization = more transnational business
transactions and arrangements
● Domestically, a growing population of non-english
speakers with non-english native documents.
Integrated Foreign Language Document Review | eDiscovery Webinar Series | July 16, 2015
“In our global economy,
collections now often
include documents in
several languages. This is
something that corporate
legal departments have to
deal with more frequently
than ever. As a result,
foreign language review is
likely to be at the top of
the list for outside
counsel, corporate
counsel, and anyone
dealing with discovery.”
- Amy Kang, Esq.

9. The Foreign Language Challenge
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Foreign Language Review Goals:
● Collect Foreign Language Documents
● Understand the scope of languages within the collection
● Determine a translation methodology
● Identify responsive, privileged, and key foreign language documents
● Support collaboration between internal and external litigation
professionals
● Produce non-translated, redacted (if necessary) original document
version

10. The Foreign Language Challenge
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Foreign Language Review Traditional Challenges:
● Difficult to identify languages within a collection
● Foreign language translations are often uploaded in separate
batches
● Cumbersome to move between viewing the original document and
the translated version
● Separate document records can cause original and translation to
become out of synch
● Searching across multiple languages is not always supported, i.e.
English search may not return German result.

12. Integrated Translation Viewer

● Easily switch between original language and translated version
using ‘tabs’
● Allows English-only reviewers to understand the content of
foreign language documents with confidence
● Supports machine translation, manual translation, and foreign
language review methodologies

13. Maintaining a Single Document Record
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Integrated Foreign Language Document Review | eDiscovery Webinar Series | July 16, 2015
The Risk of Multiple/Independent Document Records
Original Translation1) A translated version of the original document is
uploaded into the review platform.
2) English only reviewers begin conducting keyword
searches to identify responsive, privileged documents
3) Reviewers identify a translated version as privileged,
will be withheld from production. Original has not been
identified as privileged.
4) Unless the privilege review protocol is repeated in
every language that appears in the collection, there is a
chance that the original version is produced.
Out of synch review designations increase the risk of privilege
waiver and/or withholding of responsive documents!

14. Maintaining a Single Document Record
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Integrated Foreign Language Document Review | eDiscovery Webinar Series | July 16, 2015
Benefit of a Single Document Record Single Document Record
(Original + Translated)
1) A translated version of the original document is
uploaded and associated with original version
2) English only reviewers begin conducting keyword
searches to identify responsive, privileged documents
3) Reviewers identify a translated version as privileged
and that designation is automatically applied to all
versions within the record
4) All versions of the privileged document are withheld
from the production.
A single document record keeps designations in synch,
reducing risk of privilege waiver and/or underproduction

15. Multi-language Search Index
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Integrated Foreign Language Document Review | eDiscovery Webinar Series | July 16, 2015
● The contents of both the original document and the English translation
are both indexed (made available for search)
● Search is supported in any of the languages that appear in your collection.
● Concept searches also work across languages
● Review teams can find all documents, no matter what language,
discussing particular topics or issues by searching in English.

16. Multi-language Search
Integrated Foreign Language Review

Search for
“Office Building”
Will Also Return Documents containing
“Bürogebäude”
Ex. Case With German Documents

17. Multi-language Concept Search

Ex. Case With German Documents

18. Scalability
Integrated Foreign Language Review
Integrated Foreign Language Document Review | eDiscovery Webinar Series | July 16, 2015
● Machine translation methodologies can
combine with scalable cloud
architectures to automatically translate
foreign language documents quickly
and make them immediately available
for search and review.
● An initial review of machine translated
documents can then determine if key
documents require more concentrated
manual translations or foreign language
review by a native speaker with legal
training.
● This approach can significantly reduce
the time it takes to make translated
version available for review.
