Combining legal and linguistic expertise
While accuracy and precision of meaning is critical in legal translation, translating legal texts is not just a matter of transferring meaning from one language to another; skilled legal translators also need to be able to adapt the text to the culture of legal drafting in the country where the translation is to be used, with its distinct linguistic norms and conventions, its own legal terminology and writing style.
In particular, when legal texts are directed at consumers and the public (e.g. privacy policies and conditions of purchase), these are of limited effectiveness if the public cannot understand them with ease.
Readability is a challenge of all quality legal writing and especially of legal translation - producing legal translations that the general public can read and understand with ease requires translator who possess an extra level of skill, commitment and thoroughness.
As a result, accomplishing legal translation to a high standard requires highly proficient and experienced translators with a sound legal background in the country where the translation is to be used and who have a talent for high-quality legal communication.
We work in partnership with selected translation companies in different countries with local translator teams dedicated to legal translation. This working model not only provides local expertise but also local supervision over the translation process and an extra level of quality control.
Professional legal review
Where translations need to be legally valid under the laws and regulations of a foreign jurisdiction, a professional legal review by local law specialists is often required to adapt the original text to local requirements.#P#Because we work in partnership with specialist agencies and law firms based in different countries, we can usually provide affordable options for local legal review to ensure that translations are legally sound under the system of the country where they will be used and in accordance with local legislation.
For example, a privacy policy that is valid in UK, even if perfectly translated, will require additional and expert adaptation to be valid outside UK where data protection laws and requirements differ. Careful legal review by local law professionals ensures that the legal meaning intended in the original is retained and that the translation is locally valid and compliant.
We assess each project individually to determine the most suitable level of review according to the intended use of the translation and the country where it will be used.
