Taking Your Business International with HotDocs
More than a million end-users throughout 60 countries use HotDocs daily to generate documents in dozens of languages. Our clients include international law firms, global banks, insurance providers, multinational corporations, and government agencies. Staff within these organizations depend on HotDocs to produce sophisticated documents, including lending packages, legal agreements, and customer communications in a variety of languages: Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, and more.
Recognizing the need to support our global customer base, we designed the software to handle nearly any language requirement. HotDocs technology consists of four main elements, each designed to work seamlessly together to support a variety of language formats.
- Templates: Automated Microsoft Word and PDF documents that generate documents
- Interviews: Dynamic questionnaires associated with templates that gather necessary information used to generate a document. You can gather interview data manually or pull from sources like CRM systems and databases.
- Answers: Data entered into the interview or passed to HotDocs that’s required to assemble a document
- Documents: Output Microsoft Word or PDF documents generated from a template and its associated interview and answer files
Language Complexities
Generating documents in multiple languages and formats is complex. At a minimum, document automation solutions must have the technical ability to support formats that include:
- Fonts
- Symbols
- Icons
- Currencies
- Text direction (left-to-right, right-to-left)
- Numbers
- Dates
- Gender
- Unicode standards
Organizational Requirements
Along with the above requirement for multilanguage format support, document automation technology needs to be able to produce documents that meet both companywide and local requirements.
