The following are some important aspects of the process of legal translation:
- Ambiguities might arise in legal documents when it contains certain concepts, terms, or institutions that do not agree between the legal systems followed by the target and source languages.
- It is very important and helpful to use a standard dictionary which has all kinds of legal terms clearly defined. This would help ensure that the translation is accurate and does not leave any scope for errors or ambiguity.
- It may be helpful to provide notes or paraphrase that help explain the document clearly to the reader in the targeted language.
- While translating a legal document the translator should take into account not only the content, but the form of the legal document and how it varies across the involved languages and systems.
- The process of legal translation cannot be carried out effectively without studying the “comparative terminology”. This is on similar lines to “comparative law” which involves the study of the differences and similarities between judicial ordinances followed in various countries.
