JURIDICAL TRANSLATION-A MATTER OF BOTH LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT

This article analyzes the essence of juridical translation not as a purely linguistic, but as a multifaceted cognitive process. Translation is not merely the substitution of linguistic elements but a process of ideological and logical transfer between entire juridical, cultural, and social systems. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of juridical texts, cognitive differences, intercultural contextual disparities, and the translator’s role and responsibility. Additionally, important theoretical concepts are supported by real translation examples, highlighting factors that influence translation quality.
