ToS / Privacy Policy translation

We translate your legal documents — the Terms of Service (offer) and Privacy Policy — into the needed language carefully and preserving the meaning. So that foreign users understand the terms, rather than agreeing to what they do not read. Honestly upfront and plainly: this is a TRANSLATION, NOT legal drafting, not consultation and not a compliance guarantee. Laws differ between countries — the translated document must be reviewed and adapted by a LAWYER for the needed jurisdiction, otherwise it may be legally incomplete or invalid.

ToS / Privacy Policy translation — overview

ToS / Privacy Policy translation — price, timeline & scope

ToS/Privacy Policy translation is a careful human translation of your legal texts into the needed language, preserving the precision of wording and unified terminology. Honestly about the main boundary, this is critical and always stated: this is a TRANSLATION, NOT a legal service. We do NOT draft documents from scratch, do NOT advise on law and do NOT guarantee the document complies with the target country's law. The reason is simple: laws differ between jurisdictions. A literally translated Russian policy may not account for GDPR (EU) or local legislation requirements — that is, be legally incomplete or invalid in that country, even if the translation is perfect. So the translated document MUST be reviewed and, if needed, adapted by a lawyer practicing in the needed jurisdiction. Honestly about our role: we provide an accurate, well-written translation (or AI translation + mandatory human proofreading — but for legal texts a full human is more honest), preserve meaning and terms, and plainly state that legal correctness is confirmed by a lawyer. Honestly about the 'just translate and publish' risk: it is dangerous — you may think you are protected by a document that does not work in that country. Honestly about the effect: clear terms increase trust, but it is not legal protection by itself. Honestly about access: source documents are needed. An important boundary: this is translation of legal documents; the cookie banner (consent technical) is 793; the legal content/compliance itself is a lawyer's. Picture this: instead of 'a foreigner agrees to terms they do not understand (or which do not work in their country)' — an accurate translation + an honest note that a lawyer finally reviews it. The base price starts from 12,000 ₽ (depends on the volume of documents).

Problems we solve

  • Legal documents are only in Russian — foreigners do not understand them.
  • Machine translation of a legal text with errors and a meaning risk.
  • You think a translated document automatically 'works' in another country.
  • Terminology in the translation drifts and loses precision.

FAQ

  • After translation, do my documents comply with another country's law?

    No, and it is critical to understand this honestly. This is a translation, not legal drafting. Laws differ: a literally translated document may not account for GDPR or local rules and be legally incomplete or invalid, even with a perfect translation. The translated document must be reviewed and adapted by a lawyer in the needed jurisdiction — we warn about this plainly.

  • Can you also draft and adapt the documents for the country?

    No, that is a lawyer's work, not ours. We do an accurate translation and mark places especially sensitive to local law, but the legal content, compliance and jurisdiction adaptation are confirmed by a lawyer practicing there. Honestly: we do not pass off a translation as a legal guarantee.

  • Can we just translate and publish?

    Technically yes, but it is risky: you may consider yourself protected by a document that does not work in that country. It is more honest — a translation plus a review by a lawyer of the needed jurisdiction. We provide a quality basis, while a lawyer confirms the legal correctness; that way you are really protected, not on paper.
