Russian, Arabic, Spanish contracts scanned—but translations sit in the translator's inbox. Disputes cannot produce matched sets; interpretation drifts. Minor-language contracts require original and translation archived together: same contract number, page cross-reference, seal pages complete. Scan-only storage is half the file—you cannot read half in a fight.
Scanning solves storage. Pairing solves being able to explain later.
Pair Completes Archive
Archive check: original, translation, translator statement or credential page. Revisions must change both copies. E-sign and paper original point to same version. Customer-facing translation is legal-confirmed—sales cannot send drafts privately.
- No translation—contract not closed.
- Page numbers and attachment lists match across languages.
- Retention same as main contract—do not delete translation first.
Version Locks on Contract Number
The XYN digital intelligence system hangs original and translation under one contract number—both required to close. Minor language is not a rare attachment—it is half the contract body. Missing half, performance and litigation both limp.
Sample five minor-language contracts—can you pull matched files in one minute? If not, fix archive rules before the next market batch.
