HomeAMYou have chosen to use third-party translation engines hosted abroad. Before uploading your file(s), your organization requires you to remove any references that could potentially disclose the identity of clients, any other related parties, or the subject matter at hand. Third-party translation engines hosted abroad may exclusively be used for documents that have been completely pseudonymized. The use of such engines for high-profile or price-sensitive matters is strictly prohibited.
To quickly verify the meaning or usage of a word in context, simply highlight the chosen word and click on “Fast Lookup”.

What Text and document translation does, exactly
Text and document translation is the instant translation tool in Corrext. It translates a text or a batch of files with the engine of your choice and compares alternatives, each labelled with its engine. It checks a term in its official context via CHnell and rephrases a text in five styles. Everything below was observed in the application.
Application tabs
Up to 10,000 characters, source language detected automatically, translation as you type, with no button to press. Copy, clear, undo and redo buttons. Demo outputs: Art. 104 CO, Art. 47 BankA, Art. 186 PILA, as produced by LexMachina.
Up to 25 files per upload, 50 MB per file: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx. The translation keeps the original format. Tip from the application: upload the original format (.docx or .xlsx rather than .pdf) when you have it.
Converts a PDF, including a scanned one, into an editable Word document, before translation or for internal work. The Highly sensitive content switch is greyed out on this tab: it does not translate.
Rephrases a text of up to 5,000 characters. Styles Formal legal, Financial, Simplified, Formal, Informal; Shorten option. Changed words are underlined.

Three situations where Text and document translation changes the working day
Law firms
40 exhibits to read before tomorrow
Upload the batch in File translation, with the LexMachina engine and Highly sensitive mode. You read the exhibits in their original layout without a word leaving Switzerland, and you check the terms that matter in CHnell.
Compliance
A FINMA circular in three languages
Translate the passage in Text translation and open the alternatives to choose the wording closest to official usage. Then rephrase it in the Financial style for the internal memo.
Legal departments
No more shadow translation
Your teams have an approved tool, governed by the organisation's engine policy, with the same formats and the same terminology for everyone. Unsecured online tools are no longer needed.
What happens when you choose an engine hosted abroad?
Corrext does not prohibit it: it reminds you of your organisation's policy. As soon as DeepL Pro, Azure OpenAI GPT or Claude is selected, the Attorney-Client privilege notice appears. Under this policy, only fully pseudonymised documents may be entrusted to them, never a sensitive matter. With LexMachina or in Highly sensitive content mode, everything stays in Switzerland.
Notice shown in the tool
Your policy appears when the engine is chosen, not in a forgotten set of rules.
Pseudonymisation in line with your policy
Client names, parties and the subject matter are removed before anything is sent to a foreign engine.
Highly sensitive content mode
Stored and processed in Switzerland only, for DE, FR, IT and EN.

Which file formats does Text and document translation accept?
The .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt and .pptx formats, up to 25 files of 50 MB each per upload. The translation is delivered in the original format. The PDF to Word tab converts a PDF, including a scanned one, into a Word document.
How much text can I translate at once?
Up to 10,000 characters in Text translation and 5,000 characters in Rephrasing. For longer texts, upload the document in File translation or create a translation project.
Which translation engines are available?
LexMachina, the Swiss engine trained on Swiss law, as well as DeepL Pro, Azure OpenAI GPT and Claude. You choose the engine for each upload, and the Alternatives panel compares up to four suggestions, each labelled with its engine.
What does the Highly sensitive content switch do?
It enforces storage and processing in Switzerland only, for German, French, Italian and English. According to the definition Corrext shows in Translation projects, the content is not reused in a translation memory. The switch is greyed out on the PDF to Word tab, which does not translate.
How do I check a term during a translation?
Highlight the word in the source text and click Fast Lookup: CHnell shows aligned segments from official Swiss sources, with the domain and source of each occurrence.
Does Text and document translation remove the need for review by a legal translator?
No. Text and document translation is for understanding, preparing and working fast. For a document intended for third parties, for publication or for an authority, create a translation project with Light review, Full review or Double review & certified translation.
