Summary/Abstract: Laws depend on language; the former cannot exist without the latter. Legal language is hard to be understood and is difficult to be deciphered. In spite of this fact, one cannot escape from law. Thus, the translator has a huge responsibility because an error could cause unpleasant events in a person’s life. Legal texts are difficult; that is why, it is necessary to interpret them. In conclusion, we may say that if translations in general are problematic, legal translations can create even greater problems.
