Ask in the language you want to read. “Quelle est la jurisprudence…” gives French case law; “Wat zegt de rechtspraak…” gives the Dutch corpus.

How it handles language

User asks inDefault behaviour
DutchLibra researches the Dutch corpus, returns Dutch citations.
FrenchLibra researches the French corpus, returns French citations.
English (or other)Libra researches whichever corpus is enabled (or both), translates the answer to the prompt language.
If your firm only has the Dutch corpus enabled, the French corpus is hidden, and vice versa.
Jura → InView Legal: Existing Jura customers transition to InView Legal via their Wolters Kluwer Belgium account manager. Once migrated, the Libra connection works the same way.
