Legal translation

Accuracy is paramount in legal issues. When translating legal documents from one language to another, each mistake can cost a big sum of money or lead to the neverending paperwork.

Professional legal translation of documents

One of the vivid examples of the incorrect legal translation was cooperation of the German сompany, TIE, with the English city of Edinburgh.

When renewing the Contract, the translator made a mistake. All because of the term “delinquent”. In English, it means “not paid”, but in a financial report, it turned to be “Verbrecher” ⎼ felonious. The TIE owners took it for discourtesy and broke off with the city.

Legal translation in Kyiv: main issues

While working with the legal documents, a translator faces the main difficulty — numerous industry-dependent terminology specific for each separate country. It means that the specialist working on your translation must have legal education as well as sufficient experience in the jural sphere.

Types of legal translation of documents

There are three formats of juridical translation into English or other foreign languages:
