What is the difficulty of translating a contract?
Legal texts have a clear structure, are filled with professional terms, and should not have a double interpretation. Such requirements are put forward not only to the original, but also to the translation of the contract. The translator working on the document must have in-depth knowledge of the jurisprudence of the countries for which the contract is being prepared.
Key points related to legal translation:
- Consistency of terminology throughout the document. This is important so that there is no double interpretation.
- No errors: in text, numbers, names.
- Footnotes, appendices and other additional materials are also subject to mandatory translation.
- The translation must be competent not only from the point of view of linguistics, but also of jurisprudence.
Remember that any mistake in translating a contract can lead to serious problems. For example, one of the parties may refuse to sign the document. Also, errors negatively affect the fulfilment of the terms of the contract, and in the event of litigation, any inaccuracy can change the course of the entire process.
What else is needed when translating contracts?
Since the document has legal force, translation alone is often not enough. You will need additional services:
- Certification of the translation with the seal of the agency. Legal documents must be translated by qualified specialists. The seal confirms that the specialist who worked on the document has the appropriate qualifications.
