Most documentary evidence submitted in the UAE courts must be in the Arabic language. If the original documentary evidence is not in the Arabic language, then it must be translated by a legal translation office. A legal translation office is a firm that is authorized to perform legal translations of documents on behalf of law firms and companies for the purpose of procedural requirements of an authority or a court of law.

Legal translation in UAE is a necessary and frequent part of case management. Moreover, keeping track of translated documents and associated costs has become a routine administrative task for legal service providers which can be automated with the right tools.

Hence, WASI has created the ability to create accounts for legal translation offices so that law firms and companies can make legal translation requests for a specific case and track their delivery on the platform. Once a legal translation office is added, users can create a control panel for the legal tranlsaiton office so that the office can receive requests and upload a scanned copy of the final translated version of the documentation. The benefits of this function are:

• Create multiple accounts for legal translation offices as official suppliers
• Ease of tracking all pending legal translation requests based on case numbers.
• Quickly associate the legal translation invoices with case numbers for billing purposes
• Users can specify the level of urgency of every translation request.
• Users can leave reviews on the performance of legal translation offices based on speed, cost and quality of delivery
