Texas has a long history of immigration, with the majority of immigrants hailing from Mexico. Immigrants now account for one-sixth of the state’s total population and support the local economy in a growing number of industries.
With increases in immigration and increased global trade in the region, partially due to the Port of Houston and Houston Ship Channel, the legal translation industry has grown steadily in recent years. As legal processes continue becoming more globalized, demand is increasing for accurate and timely document translation.
When it comes to legal translation services, it’s crucial to choose a reliable and experienced company. With over 20 years of experience, 24 Hour Translation Services is a leading US-based translation company that has served thousands of satisfied law firms, corporate clients, and individuals. Our reputation for providing fast turnarounds, accurate work, and exceptional customer service has made us highly reputable in the translation industry.
Tips for Choosing a Legal Translation Provider

- Verify industry credentials – Select providers who are certified and belong to professional associations.
- Check translator qualifications – Ask about the translators’ background, education, experience.
- Request native speakers – The translator should be a native speaker in the target language.
- Ensure subject matter expertise – Pick translators experienced in your specific legal field.

Machine Translation vs. Human Legal Translation
While machine translation tools like Google Translate have improved, they still cannot match the accuracy of human legal translation. Here are some drawbacks of relying on machine translation:
- Errors in legal terminology – Subtle differences can change meaning.
- Lack of contextual understanding – Machines miss nuance and implied meaning.
- Inability to confirm comprehension – Humans can clarify intent if needed.
- Risk of mistranslation – Machines often translate literally vs. interpreting meaning.
- No specialized legal knowledge – Human translators have background in the law.
For ultimate accuracy and avoidance of potentially costly errors, human legal translation is still the gold standard. Our expert linguists far surpass machines.
Insights from a Legal Translation Expert
We spoke with Gabriela Cruiz, a professional legal translator with over 18 years of experience. Here’s her advice for ensuring accuracy:
“Legal translation is a nuanced art. The slightest ambiguity or mistranslation could have cascading consequences. When hiring a translator, ensure they have ample experience specifically with legal translation, not just general translation experience. Also verify their area of legal expertise matches your documents – the terminology and standards vary greatly between legal disciplines.”
