Effective Communication Within Legal Translation
Effective Communication Within Legal Translation

Summary/Abstract: The legal translation generates many difficulties due to the differences between and within legal systems, which are further complicated by their evolution in history and by their cultural specificity. Therefore the legal translator must be versatile not only in the legal terminology, but also in the legal systems and the cultures involved in translation and he has to function as an intercultural expert able to translate the meaning from one culture into another so as to make it comprehensible and functional. This paper makes reference to different legal systems, gives some examples of difficulties that arise in the terminological transfer from one legal system into another and offers some solutions that could be useful to both legal translators and legal professionals.
