Thanks for raising this issue @Therajat14 and for linking the translation docs @yugalkaushik!

I think since these pages refer to legal documents, we might need to approach translations here more cautiously. One approach could be to have a draft translation and then have it reviewed by a lawyer who speaks the language natively to correct it?

[yugalkaushik]

Since these pages contain legal documents, we should avoid translating them to prevent potential misinterpretations or legal inaccuracies. While translations can be done easily, finding a native-speaking lawyer to review them for accuracy is not always feasible. I suggest keeping the legal content in its original language with a note explaining it remains untranslated for legal clarity.
What are your thoughts on keeping the legal content untranslated?

Thank you, @yugalkaushik and @raclim , for your insights on this issue. I completely understand the concerns regarding legal document translations and the potential risks of misinterpretation. Your suggestion to keep the legal content in its original language with an explanatory note sounds like a practical approach to ensure clarity while avoiding inaccuracies.
