The Need For FCPA Translation
FCPA Translation compliance and legal translation services are more essential than ever for regulatory compliance cases. As most companies with a global presence are already aware, the number of FCPA cases launched against organizations has increased significantly. In 2016, the Department of Justice increased its capacity to investigate and prosecute FCPA violations by increasing the size of its prosecutor unit by more than 50 percent, adding three new squads of special FBI agents dedicated to FCPA investigations and prosecutions, and launching a pilot program to encourage companies to self-disclose FCPA violations. Concurrently, it is strengthening its cooperation with its international counterparts.
As a result, there has been an increasing need for affected companies to develop proactive and efficient strategies to process foreign language documents – whether they take the form of intra and/or inter-company emails, codes of conduct, or charters and other corporate foundation materials. Partnering with a legal translation company that has FCPA translation expertise and also understands the specifics of the eDiscovery review process has become increasingly critical. A proper FCPA language services company will allow companies to ensure accurate and reliable legal translation services for FCPA compliance for necessary materials while controlling costs.
FCPA Translation – Best Practices
We believe that the optimal strategy for FCPA review of foreign language documents is to adopt a multi-pronged approach that relies on:
We apply advanced filtering techniques, such as foreign language keyword searches, to quickly identify and eliminate irrelevant documents from large data sets. This reduces review time and costs while allowing your team to focus only on the materials that matter. By streamlining the discovery process, we help you manage multilingual content more efficiently.
Machine translation offers a fast and cost-effective way to understand the general content of large volumes of documents. This “gist” translation helps determine relevance without the expense of full professional translation. It’s an ideal first step in multilingual data review or e-discovery processes.
Our linguists provide concise summaries that capture the key points of foreign-language documents. These summaries help determine whether a full translation is required, saving both time and resources. This service is especially useful for prioritizing large document sets during litigation or compliance reviews.
When accuracy is critical, such as for materials submitted to the Department of Justice, SEC, or other regulatory bodies, we provide certified human translations. These translations are performed by subject matter experts and undergo rigorous quality checks. This ensures complete clarity, reliability, and compliance with official requirements.
With this strategy in mind, Language Connections provides our partners with FCPA compliance services that are tailored to the particulars of their investigation and developed in collaboration with their internal technological resources. In this regard, our Translation Management System enables us to provide regulatory materials translation services within your fcpa ediscovery or GRC application environment, if necessary. In addition, we can provide machine translation, data visualization, and other analytical tools to improve your FCPA-related discovery process. For clients who anticipate recurring translation requirements, we can install a translation server compliant with ISO 27001 behind your firewall for added security and efficiency.
FCPA & Regulatory Document Translation
Language Connections is a compliant translation company that has over 20 years of experience providing legal translation services, allowing us to translate corporate legal documentation with the necessary expertise. Our network of professional human translators are certified linguists with experience in both your target language(s) as well as the legal industry. This gives them an advantage when translating for FCPA training materials and regulatory purposes, as they can identify keywords and phrases to target from the start when searching for high-priority documents.
FCPA and Compliance Related Documents We Translate Include:
- Emails and Correspondence Documentation
- Contracts & Regulations
- Purchase Agreements
- Company Policies and Employee Handbooks
- Company Code of Conduct
- Formal Documentation for Mergers & Acquisitions
In addition, we can translate your GRC and FCPA-related policies, procedures, and training materials to support your ongoing e-learning programs for international employees. Once you employ our GRC translation solutions, you will be able to use our proprietary Translation Management repositories to efficiently and affordably update your materials annually or quarterly.
LEGAL TRANSLATION PROCESS & QUALITY ASSURANCE
Our innovative three-step quality control system is incorporated into every layer of the legal translation process. We use workflow controls and cross-checks, the latest translation technology, and client feedback to deliver a smooth and precise finished product. This convergence of human-oriented methodology and state-of-the-art technology is becoming increasingly valuable in a time when automated machine translation services are rapidly gaining popularity among non-professional audiences.

TECHNOLOGY
Computer Assisted Translation (CAT)
By using leading computer-assisted translation (CAT) and translation memory (TM) tools, we’re able to cut costs and shorten timelines while improving translation consistency. Specialized software like Trados Studio, SDLX, MemoQ and Wordfast eliminate the need to translate the same content twice by allowing the integration of approved terminology across multiple documents.

We offer our clients a web-based project management system, XTRF™, that makes working with Language Connections simple and efficient. Thanks to its intuitive, user-friendly interface, learning the system doesn’t take long.
