Guildhawk, in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University and with backing from InnovateUK, has developed the GAI Certify, the first product that automates the certified translation process, eliminating the administrative bottleneck associated with the manual method of certifying translated documents.  

For decades, certification of translation has been frustratingly slow and manual, causing delays and increasing costs for certified documents, most acute in legal procedures. The minimum wait time for a legalized translation, which requires first being certified and then notarized, is typically a minimum of 3 weeks. Furthermore, mistranslations and certification issues in legal documents can result in extended proceedings, potentially adding hundreds of thousands in legal fees. 

GAI Certify offers a secure, auditable, one-click certification function that empowers GAI Translate subscribers to have a vetted Guildhawk linguist verify accuracy and receive a certified translation.  

The GAI Certify one-click process generates a verifiable, non-repudiable certificate that is permanently tethered to the translated document. This means clients have the same assurance as traditional tried-and-tested methods, but with the speed and efficiency of AI automation. 

“GAI Certify is a game-changer for high-stakes translations because it gives you the speed and efficiency of AI with the extra assurance of insurance-backed certification.” says Tenet Law in the UK. 

Unlike some existing solutions where client content can be shared with crowd-sourced linguists with limited vetting, GAI Certify is private; all data is protected by ISO:27001 certified information security controls. In addition, all linguists undergo full vetting, testing, and continuous monitoring to guarantee quality.  

David Clarke, Chief Security Officer at Guildhawk and former Head of the City of London Police Fraud Squad, affirms the strategic importance of verifying the certifiers: 

“Global organisations expect their suppliers to evidence robust quality and security controls. The guarantee that everything from linguist vetting to safe delivery of translations is secured by design is now a mandatory expectation. GAI Certify is your assurance.”
