There is a section on a contract that says "I have fully read this and understood it"

Do you want to stand in front of a judge and tell them that's true with a model who can't read English?

Bottom line is it depends on the laws of the country.

But how much would it cost to go to a legal translator and get a model release translated?

I know we do, but then documetation was always important to me.

A few years agoa big magazine publisher started to fuck with us over Second Rights, this is where they pay to republish pictures. I pointed out to them that I held all the Czech model releases and if a model did decide to sue them in the US a Czech release would come in handy.

They started to pay us for Second Rights again.
