title: "How to translate business documents with AI"
description: "Start with one kind of document that is translated often, such as customer letters, product sheets or onboarding forms, and agree a short glossary of names, product terms and phrases that must always be translated the same way. AI drafts the translation while keeping the layout and applying the glossary, and marks passages it is unsure about, such as legal wording, numbers and dates. A fluent reviewer checks the marked passages and anything that will be sent outside the team or carries legal, medical or safety meaning before it is used, and their corrections are added to the glossary so later drafts improve."

# How can a team use AI to translate documents, forms and customer messages without losing meaning or sending out mistakes?
Start with one kind of document that is translated often, such as customer letters, product sheets or onboarding forms, and agree a short glossary of names, product terms and phrases that must always be translated the same way. AI drafts the translation while keeping the layout and applying the glossary, and marks passages it is unsure about, such as legal wording, numbers and dates. A fluent reviewer checks the marked passages and anything that will be sent outside the team or carries legal, medical or safety meaning before it is used, and their corrections are added to the glossary so later drafts improve.
## What this means in practice
- Start with one document type that is translated often.
- Agree a glossary of terms that must stay consistent.
- Draft translations that keep layout and mark uncertain passages.
- Have a fluent reviewer check external, legal, medical or safety text before use.
- Add reviewer corrections to the glossary.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
