Legal Translation: Special Work for Special People



Legal Translation is an extremely fast-growing subdivision of the translation services industry. The aspect that makes this particular role stand out is the dual skill that one must possess to succeed in the job. First-class language skill does not provide adequate evidence that a candidate will be a great legal translator. In addition, dazzling legal knowledge is a similarly undependable gauge of talent. The legal translator is a true hybrid; a very unusual kind of professional who is more than just the sum of his/her dual industry parts.A truly comprehensive knowledge of legal practice, legal sayings and legal culture in both the base country and the target country are required to make certain that the candidate has the societal presence of mind to make translations work. This has to be coupled with wonderful language fluency – which is not a facet to be ignored as a compromise for a magnificent legal CV. Beyond this, a legal translator must be able to think laterally and be imaginative. Creativity is possibly something not generally related to the often regimented industries of language translation and legal practice. However, intellectual flair and a culturally aware personality are essential in order to understand nuances and gist in official documentation that may escape a more ‘by-the-numbers’ expert. Legal translators often possess attributes more often found in arts or humanities graduates: an indication of the qualitative (rather than quantitative) nature of the legal translation industry. A razor-sharp organizational legal mind and perfect language skills aren’t worth a great deal without the personality to fuse these two separate crafts.

The best British translation companies understand these very exclusive qualities and you can expect them to hire the kind of extraordinary individuals needed to provide quality legal translation. The nation’s capital city is awash with great companies and they will provide the best legal document and certified translation London has to offer. Sub-standard legal translation for your company will not readily result in insignificant, negative results such as the odd complaint – rather, the prospective problems will be far more serious. Poorly translated trade documents can result in legal sanctions that will seriously harm your business. Bad translations can lead to trade delay, which can affect sales results, overhead costs and market effectiveness. Quite simply, this isn’t the sort of area you should be looking to cut corners on. Many businesses in the past have taken matters into their own hands and combined individual legal advice with amateur translation work, in the hope that the end result will be satisfactory. Trust me on this, it rarely is. As I said previously, the legal translator is a very special individual. Let them deal with this very special business need.
