Hiring a Legal Interpreter or Translator is perhaps one of the most difficult types of technical translation. The use of legal terminologies adds a level of difficulty here because each country has its own set of legal terms to match its unique legal system. Even if two countries use a similar language, the legal terms can be completely different. This is a reflection of the country’s socio, political and economic background.
Challenges with Legal Translation
The process of translation is already complex by itself as it needs many skills to be accurate. Translation of legal documents need to be more precise, and accurate. Altering the wording of a single phrase (or a single word) can change the meaning of an entire contract or document.
Legal translation services have very strict deadlines. A small delay can cost you money, or the entire case in court. Confidentiality is also an issue that a legal translator faces everyday.
