Legal interpretation platform AILingGo launched its latest artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool, OTran 2.0, offering greater precision and efficiency than conventional translation systems through its interactive chat platform.

According to the company, Monday, it released OTran 2.0 on Nov. 3. While OTran 1.0 focused primarily on English-Korean translation, the upgraded version has expanded its coverage to more than 35 languages.

The new version minimizes the possibility of mistranslation by taking the full context of a document into account, as well as introduces an interactive interface that allows users to communicate directly with the AI to refine and edit their documents.

The company also enhanced functions for processing documents before and after translation by applying optical character recognition technology specialized for legal documents.

The technology accurately recognizes, extracts and translates complex documents such as complaints and patent specifications, which were difficult for conventional AI tools to process.

AILingGo was founded in 2020 as a specialized platform for translating legal documents, which require greater precision and understanding of terminology for the area. Unlike other chat-based general AI services, OTran series provides interfaces and functions specialized for translation and editing. The company’s clients include a number of top law firms in Korea and government agencies,

“OTran 2.0 is no longer just a simple translation tool, but an AI partner that collaborates with users to create translations in the direction they want,” AILingGo CEO Lee Jai-wook said. “We will continue to prove the technological competitiveness of Korea’s legal tech industry in the global legal market.”
