7. 5 Tools of Translation Technology5 Tools of Translation Technology
1. Language Identification
• Document level language break down that allows granular workflows
• Case level break down so resources can be sourced and allocated
2. Foreign Language Key Words
• Foreign language key terms against foreign language text
• 20 English terms can easy become 100 foreign language terms
• Case level break down so resources can be sourced and allocated

• A few $100 here can save thousands in attorney review or summary
3. Machine Translation
• If viable 1/100th the cost of a human based solution

5. Human Translations

9. How Do You Define Success?How Do You Define Success?
Traditional translation companies define THEIR success by the
number of words they translate for you.
 e.g. 20,000 words @ $0.25 a word
At Merrill Brink, we define OUR CLIENT’S success by the number
f d d NOT t l t O l i t i di id llof words we do NOT translate. Our goal is to individually
process each document in the most cost effective manner from
the beginning to end of the ESI workflow.
By successfully leveraging the 5 tools of translation at the front
end of a foreign language data intensive investigation, the goals
of translation and eDiscovery are mutually aligned.
 eDiscovery – Only produce documents which are relevant to the case
 Merrill Brink – Only translate documents that must be submitted to official
bodies (DOJ/SEC, etc.)
