Summary/Abstract: The translation of official documents differs from other types of translation given the constraints to which the translator is required to respond to: objective, imposed by the social environment where the translated text will serve as a communication tool, updated by legal, moral and cultural standards, and subjective, imposed by the beneficiary. Starting from the premise that socio-cultural elements are likely to pose a problem for the translator, we consider it useful to inventory the categories of potential sociocultural problems for the Romanian translator using French as a source language when translating official documents.
