Requirements for legal translators
Translation of legal texts of any kind – from laws to contracts and witness testimonies in court – is a practical activity that stands at the intersection of legal theory, linguistic theory, and translation theory.
That is why it is absolutely essential for a legal translator to possess at least basic knowledge of the nature of law and legal language, as well as the impact it has on legal translation.
Please note
While having a law degree is not mandatory, it is crucial for linguists to study and thoroughly familiarize themselves with the laws and legal institutions of their own country as well as the country whose language they are translating legal documents into.
Additionally, the translator must be familiar with the linguistic nuances of legal translation, which arise when translating terminology and general concepts of the legal system into another language.
When translating important legal documents, it is essential to carefully consider the translator’s experience. Ideally, they should have at least 5-6 years of experience.
