On February 21, also
known as International Mother Language Day, the Kerala High Court
published two of its most recent decisions in Malayalam, making it the first
high court in the nation to do so.
·
On the court’s website, the Malayalam
decisions were posted right underneath the English version. On the website, two
decisions made by the division bench, which included Chief
Justice S. Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly.

The news comes a day after the Supreme Court
began testing a live transcription service to record its hearings and then
translate them into text using artificial intelligence
(AI) and NLP-based technology.
·
The facility was used in Chief Justice of
India D Y Chandrachud‘s courtroom, when he
presided over a Constitution bench hearing the Maharashtra constitutional
crisis.
·
In order to translate rulings from English to
regional languages, the Supreme Court established an artificial intelligence
team to create the SUVAS (Supreme Court Vidhik Anuwad
Software), an open-source judicial domain language translation tool.
·
This tool was used by the Kerala High Court
to translate the rulings.
·
Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said
in January of this year that the Supreme Court’s decisions would be translated
into four languages: Hindi, Gujarati, Odia, and Tamil
after noting that 99.9% of Indian population could not understand the English
language in its “legal incarnation.”
