New TransLaw framework enhances Hong Kong legal case law translation

Researchers have developed TransLaw, a novel multi-agent framework designed to improve the professional translation of Hong Kong case law. This system integrates a specialized glossary, retrieval-augmented generation, and iterative feedback, building upon the newly released HKCFA Judgment 97-22, a large-scale parallel corpus of translated judgments. Benchmarking against 13 LLMs, TransLaw demonstrated significant improvements over single-agent approaches, though human evaluation indicated it still lags behind human legal translators in stylistic naturalness. AI
