CHALLENGES IN TRANSLATING LEGAL CONTRACTS

The translation of legal contracts is a complex and in many ways delicate process that involves many difficulties. These difficulties will be associated with the professional knowledge of the translator, a correct understanding of legal terminology, differences in cultural and legal systems, as well as the peculiarities of the language. Legal texts, in particular contracts, require specific rigor and clear expressiveness, since any mistake or misconception can lead to large financial or legal consequences.

Abstract

The translation of legal contracts is a complex and in many ways delicate process that involves many difficulties. These difficulties will be associated with the professional knowledge of the translator, a correct understanding of legal terminology, differences in cultural and legal systems, as well as the peculiarities of the language. Legal texts, in particular contracts, require specific rigor and clear expressiveness, since any mistake or misconception can lead to large financial or legal consequences.
