Pitfalls to watch at work

DeepL

On the free version texts may be stored to improve the service: translate contracts and correspondence with details only on a paid plan
Legal terms are translated with a general dictionary: without a glossary "supplier" and "contractor" can swap midway through a document
Scanned PDFs without a text layer are translated with OCR errors, so run OCR first

Lexis+ AI

Jurisdictions outside its coverage have no legislation or case law in the database: search them separately
Check case citations against the full text of the decision before using them in a position
Access is tied to the subscription's jurisdiction: the law of another country may be unavailable
