Creating an accurate translation is a very precise art. The translation must correctly and idiomatically convey the original message. The same tone and level of discourse must be maintained at all times. A legal translation should be error-free.
Our legal translators are conscientious and knowledgeable about the legal jargon, as well as proficient in both their source and target languages.
Their responsibility is to convert papers from one source language to another target language while adhering to the field’s guidelines. This form of translation is uncommon in that it sits at the intersection of three fields of study: legal theory, language theory, and translation theory.
The law is predicated on a number of abstract and fluid concepts that vary significantly depending on the country or place in which those laws are applied.
Legal translators must have an in-depth understanding of concepts and terminology not only linked to law, but also to the subject matter to which the law is applied.
What is the definition of legal translation?
Legal translation is the process of converting legal documents and other materials from one language to another while maintaining the original meaning. This type of translation entails a technique that takes legal context into account. Among the various legal papers that can be translated are the following:
- Contracts
- Court and witness transcripts
- Depositions
- Confidentiality agreements
- Wills and trusts
- Complaints
- Policies
- Legal Statements
- Licenses
- Litigation documentation
- Arbitration translation
- Legal disclaimers
- Legal agreements
- Legal compliance
- Insurance law
- NDAs
If the translation is not precise enough, legal consequences may ensue. A poorly translated document can have a direct influence on individuals’ rights, which is why we only work with the best.
For legal firms, it is vital to have confidence that the conclusion is correct and true to the original. The translation team must be familiar with the business and legal processes of the country. Otherwise, erroneous information may cause widespread confusion. As a result, working with native-language translators is always recommended, which is precisely what we do.
