Multilingual contract review

Cross-border employment contracts often arrive in two or three languages, and the versions don't always say the same thing. International real-estate deeds carry historical predecessors in another tongue. Family settlements regularly need to reconcile a will written in one language with a notarized declaration in another.

The problem

Most "AI document tools" assume one language at a time. They translate-then-summarize, which loses precision. A contract review needs the literal language, in the original language, citable. And the question you have ("what's the termination clause in the non-English version?") might be asked in English — so the retrieval has to be cross-lingual.

How SeekFiles AI helps

• Cross-lingual retrieval as a core capability — ask in one language, retrieve from source files in another.
• Cited paragraphs in the source language — never lose the literal text.
• OCR for older scanned deeds that come in as low-quality scans.
• Refuses to guess when languages disagree on a clause — that disagreement is the alert you need.

A workflow

1. Build a per-document assistant. Upload all language versions of the contract.
2. Ask the same question in your most fluent language; the assistant retrieves from all language versions.
3. Surface inconsistencies between language versions — these are the negotiation points.
4. Save the cited Q&A for your lawyer.

What to upload

• All language versions of the contract
• Notarized translations
• Notes from prior interpretations
• Counterparty's standard terms (multiple languages if available)

For cross-border agreements and dual-language deeds, the cross-lingual capability isn't a feature — it's the whole point.
