Legalese is a language on its own, a very complicated one that requires experience, expertise, patience, and the right tools to guarantee consistency, accuracy and precision. A certified translator with a legal background is aware that context in these cases is far more important than word for word translation. 

In other words, a certified translator is what you need. 

Let’s talk about three reasons why.

by Catherine Diallo

Managing highly complex legal texts requires in-depth knowledge of the subject, as well as, ideally, formal legal training, which administrative staff normally do not have.

That said, it is essential to hire the right translator for the job when outsourcing legal translations.  

But who is the right person for the job? And what else needs to be considered?

Let’s look at it in more detail.

When a lawyer needs a sensitive document translated into another language, they often set very tight deadlines for the translator. Or they will do the translation themselves and expect the translator to agree with the product and to “just put their name and stamp” under the translation.

These practices can, and often do, cause more harm than benefit.

So, how should certified translations be managed in a way that works for both lawyers and translators?

by Catherine Diallo

It is crucial that the translated version of a legal document accurately captures the original text’s meaning. As legal terminology is precise and nuanced, consistency is necessary for the translated text to faithfully convey the original text’s meaning and content.

Whatever the inconsistency may be, one fact remains true: inconsistencies are costly.
