Legal Translation

Legal translation, like any other translation work, is the replacement of the source language with the target language. But legal translation is different because law depends on culture. It uses the content and terms within the legal system applicable in the country where the source document originates. As the world becomes more global, the need for legal translation also increases.

Besides language barriers, differences in legal systems make legal translation very complex. Legal translation is required to use the official language of the respective country, so it covers a wide variety of texts. It can be identity documents, financial documents, official reports, transcripts, patents filed, precedent and legal judgments, and witness statements. Legal translation is also required for immigration documents, litigation documents, articles of association, wills and foundations.
