Translate terms and privacy policies
Get a first draft of your terms of service, privacy policy or cookie notice in another language, ready for review.
Don't upload confidential documents on the free tier. Why?
Launching a website, app or shop in a new country means your legal pages need to exist in that language too. These texts are long and carefully structured, with numbered sections and cross-references. DropTranslate translates them from Word, HTML or Markdown while keeping that structure, which gives you or your lawyer a complete draft to review instead of a blank page. It is also useful in reverse, when you want to understand the terms of a service you use that only publishes them in another language.
A draft for legal review
A machine translation of legal terms is a draft. It doesn't adapt the content to the law of another country, and it is not a certified translation. Have a lawyer qualified in the target market review it before you publish, and state which language version prevails.
Good for
- Drafting terms, privacy policies and cookie notices for a new market
- Understanding the terms of a foreign service before you sign up
- Keeping section numbers and cross-references aligned between languages
Before you translate
- Legal requirements differ by country; a translation doesn't adapt the content to local law.
- Have a lawyer qualified in the target market review the text before publishing.
- State which language version prevails if versions differ.
Questions
Is the translated policy legally compliant?
Translation doesn't make a policy compliant. Different countries have different requirements, so a qualified lawyer should review the translated text before you publish it.
Which format should I upload?
Whatever you edit the policy in: Word, HTML or Markdown all keep their structure.
Can I translate another company's terms to read them?
Yes, for your own understanding. The original language version is usually the binding one.
