Checks
Three passes that catch quiet mistranslations
Fluent wording can still change a date, obligation, or measurement. Review fidelity and style separately.
Pass 1: fidelity
Request a close translation and mark uncertain segments in brackets.
Pass 2: natural language
Adapt for the French reader without adding information or deleting a caveat.
Pass 3: control
Compare numbers, names, and glossary terms. Send contractual passages for expert review.

FAQ
Questions about DeepSeek translation
Human review remains necessary when one word can change an obligation, measure, or promise.
Q1
Can DeepSeek translate a long document?
Yes, but quality depends on format, length, and context. Work by section and keep one shared glossary for a long document.
Q2
How do I request French for France?
State French for France, name the audience, and list local terms. Ask for expressions that may sound Belgian, Swiss, or Quebecois.
Q3
Can I publish without human review?
Avoid it for contracts, instructions, medical text, or commercial claims. Verify all passages that carry responsibility.
Q4
How do I prevent changed numbers?
Request a source-target table for numbers, units, dates, and percentages. Check it separately from the fluent text.
