Legal Translations

 Many experts in the field believe that legal translations are some of the most challenging in the translation business for several reasons:

• The field of jurisprudence entails a wide range of specific areas of knowledge which are characterized by differentiation and specialization. Just as a lawyer typically specializes in a narrow field such as, for instance, labor disputes or the celebration of a contract, a legal translator also has his or own specialization. Each country has its own laws and legal structures, which places certain limitations on the capabilities of a single translator when working on a legal text. Legal translation also demands the familiarity with complex legal jargon and terminology. These texts are written with a unique language and style. In the US, for instance, there is even a name for that “language” – legalese.
• In the overwhelming majority of cases, legal translations require not only a linguistic but also a post-secondary legal education.
• Legal translations call for a high level of responsibility and accuracy, and require a second or even third proofreading of the text due to what may be at stake if a mistake in translation is made.
• A comprehensive legal translation includes additional services: the apostilization, legalization, and notarization.
