首个港式判例英中平行语料库,助力法律翻译智能化

TransLaw: A Large-Scale Dataset and Multi-Agent Benchmark Simulating Professional Translation of Hong Kong Case Law

  • 构建三阶段多智能体框架,融合术语库与迭代评审
  • 覆盖1997-2022年344份判决书,含1.1万句对、210万词元
  • 适配法律翻译专业场景,推动AI辅助司法文本转换

将香港法院判決从英文翻译为繁體中文是基本法第8-9條的規定,但受限於平行語料稀缺及對法律術語、引用格式與司法風格的嚴格要求。我們提出HKCFA Judgment 97-22,首個大規模句子對齊的港式判例平行語料庫,涵蓋1997至2022年間344份專業翻譯判決(11,099句對;210萬詞元)。基於此資源,我們設計TransLaw多智能體框架,將翻譯分解為詞級表達、句級翻譯與多維度審核,整合專用香港法律術語資料庫、檢索增強生成與反饋機制,並設立四維專家評審(語義對齊、術語、引用、風格)。對13款開源與商用大模型進行測試,結果顯示TransLaw在所有模型上均顯著優於單智能體基線,3次迭代內收斂。由10位認證法律翻譯員使用法律ACS指標進行人評,驗證其語義準確性提升,但風格自然度仍不及人工。數據集與基準代碼已公開於https://github.com/xuanxixi/TransLaw。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Translating Hong Kong Court Judgments from English to Traditional Chinese is mandated by Articles 8-9 of the Basic Law, yet remains constrained by a shortage of parallel resources and rigorous demands on legal terminology, citation format, and judicial style. We introduce HKCFA Judgment 97-22, the first large-scale sentence-aligned parallel corpus for HK case law, comprising 344 professionally translated judgments (11,099 sentence pairs; 2.1M tokens) spanning 1997-2022. Building on this resource, we propose TransLaw, a multi-agent framework that decomposes translation into word-level expression, sentence-level translation, and multidimensional review, integrating a specialized Hong Kong legal glossary database, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and iterative feedback, with four-dimensional expert review covering semantic alignment, terminology, citation, and style. Benchmarking 13 open-source and commercial LLMs, we demonstrate that TransLaw significantly outperforms single-agent baselines across all evaluated models, with convergence within 3 iterations. Human evaluation by 10 certified legal translators using our proposed Legal ACS metric confirms gains in legal-semantic accuracy, while showing that TransLaw still trails human experts in stylistic naturalness. The dataset and benchmark code are available at https://github.com/xuanxixi/TransLaw.
