Yes. Graph offers multiple translation and transliteration functions to help users explore records in foreign languages. This includes everything from on-demand translation of record text to translation of search terms and results. 

We use a combination of translations included in original documents (for example, when Chinese companies disclose their names in English), plus translations and transliterations we generate based on internal deep learning models, and the Google Translate API.

Constantly. Each source refresh runs on its own schedule to account for client usage, size, and complexity. All updates take place at least once per year, but the average source is updated more frequently (e.g. quarterly).

We have all the public corporate data from the British Virgin Islands that is allowed to be disclosed by law. We also cover corporate registries in offshore financial centers like Bermuda, Luxembourg, Macao, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as real property ownership rolls in places like Switzerland, Montenegro, and the United States.

Sayari’s graph-based model of the corporate world combines data on individuals and companies in multiple jurisdictions — including many with more generous disclosure requirements than the BVI. In practice, this means although the BVI does not disclose shareholder information publicly, Graph may have shareholder information on a BVI company by way of another jurisdiction. BVI company data can be obtained when, for example, a company submits its articles of incorporation to another corporate registry that does require shareholder disclosures in order to open a branch office or establish a partnership.
