Summary
Legal and administrative terminology is the technical language used by legal professionals. It discusses the challenges of translating this language between different legal systems and languages.
General: Definition and Sources
Legal and administrative terminology is defined. It is found in written texts, both official and non-official. These texts have specific syntax, style and idioms.
Understanding the text
Translators must understand the legal content of a text. They need training in the law of both the source and target languages. The translator's goal differs from that of a legal professional.
Translating Concepts and Terms
Translating legal concepts and terms can be difficult. Sometimes there is no direct equivalent in the target language. The translator may need to suggest a new term.
International Agreements and Names
International agreements are negotiated in content and form. Names of streets and authorities may not translate directly. The translator must decide how to handle these.
