The EU AI Act, ICO guidance on AI and data protection, the US AI executive order and OECD guidelines impose documentation and transparency obligations that require precise and legally informed translation for each market where an AI system operates. Algorithmic impact assessments, high-risk system documentation, responsible AI policies and transparency reports are not merely technical documents: they are legal instruments whose translations need to maintain legal equivalence in each target language, across multiple jurisdictions.

M21AI translates compliance and governance documentation for AI with teams combining technical linguists and reviewers with proven experience in legal translation. Over 20 years of ISO 17100 certified translation, applied to the intersection between European, UK and international regulation and artificial intelligence. We ensure that regulatory terms maintain their legal meaning, with particular attention to the requirements of the EU AI Act, UK GDPR, ICO guidance and applicable ISO/IEC standards.

EU AI Act Documentation

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems into risk categories and imposes proportional documentation obligations. High-risk systems must maintain detailed technical documentation, including system description, training data, performance metrics, known limitations and mitigation measures. This documentation must be available in the languages of the markets where the system operates, with precision that withstands regulatory scrutiny.

M21AI translates EU AI Act documentation with linguists who understand both AI technical terminology and the European legal framework. Each translation is validated by a reviewer with experience in regulatory documentation translation, who verifies that the legal meaning is preserved in full. We maintain complete process traceability, in accordance with ISO 17100 requirements, ensuring that each translation decision is documented and auditable.

Algorithmic Impact Assessments

Algorithmic impact assessments document the potential risks of an AI system to fundamental rights, safety and fairness. These documents combine technical analysis with legal and ethical considerations, requiring translators who navigate between machine learning terminology and legal language with equal competence. A translation that softens an identified risk or alters the scope of a mitigation measure can have regulatory consequences across multiple jurisdictions.

M21AI approaches the translation of impact assessments with the same rigour applied to binding legal documentation. Each section is translated and reviewed by linguists with experience in both areas, technical and regulatory. We use cross-terminological validation between the original version and translations to ensure that risk classifications, mitigation measures and recommendations maintain exactly the same scope and meaning in each language.

Responsible AI Policies

Responsible AI policies define an organisation's principles, boundaries and commitments in the use and development of artificial intelligence. These documents are frequently public and serve simultaneously as a statement of intent, operational guide and accountability instrument. Their translation requires fidelity to the original meaning, with adaptation to the legal and cultural framework of each market.

M21AI translates responsible AI policies preserving the institutional tone, the precision of commitments and the clarity of defined obligations. Each policy is contextualised within the regulatory framework of the target market, with notes on terms that may carry different connotations in different jurisdictions, including ICO interpretations in the UK and state-level requirements in the US. Review includes consistency verification with other governance documents from the same organisation previously translated.

Transparency and Audit Reports

Transparency reports and AI system audit reports are documents that combine quantitative data, technical analysis and regulatory conclusions. They contain performance metrics, bias testing results, impact analyses and recommendations that need to be translated with absolute fidelity to the original data. A numerical discrepancy or a rewording that alters the tone of a conclusion can compromise the report's validity.

M21AI translates transparency and audit reports with verification processes that include cross-checking of numerical data between original and translation, validation of regulatory terminology and consistency review with documentation previously translated for the same organisation. Each translated report maintains the formatting, cross-references and structure of the original document, ensuring that it functions as a standalone document in the target language.
