We are working to add legislation from every country that provide access to its laws online. We are also working on trying to obtain access to laws from countries that does not post their laws online (mainly in Africa). If you have access to laws that are not yet in our database - please let us know. Additional restriction is translation one - if Microsoft’s translator does not work with a specific language, we cannot provide access to this country’s laws in English.
We use state-of-the-art commercial APIs for translation. Our original provider was Google Trabslate but we have re-translated most laws with Microsoft Translator over the last twelve months. Some languages are more difficult to translate than others so for example, you may find that Arabic translations are less fluent than French translations. If you find a particularly inaccurate translation please let us know. We are continually improving the service and machine translation models become more accurate every day.
Although there are many countries in our database, we only count a country as being searchable if there are at least 100 laws available through our site. As of May, 2017 there are 96 countries that can be searched and we consider that there are 90 countries in the database. Click here for the complete details on our coverage.
