On the other hand, most complex legal documents are translated by specialized legal translators who have legal experience as well as linguistic and translation skills.

What makes legal translations different?

Legal translations are often the most demanding of any type of translation category except perhaps for the translation of complex scientific reports. What makes legal translation services so unique is the terminology used and the preciseness of the text. Any slight slip up in terminology or mistranslated text can end up in confusion, delayed court proceedings, lost contracts and patents denied, just to mention a few negative consequences.

Because of the specialized nature of much legal translation it is preferable to choose a legal translation service that employs legal translators with experience in the legal systems of both the two countries involved in the translation. Legal translation services that employ specialized legal translators may be more expensive than ordinary translation services, but this is not the sort of service that you should be compromising on quality just to save a few dollars. Poor quality legal translation can result in huge financial losses or mistrials as the following two recent examples testify.

Examples of the importance of a professional legal translation service

In 2010, in a Californian court, a homicide charge against Cathy Mendoza was dismissed by the judge presiding over the trial because he was dissatisfied with the standard of the Spanish to English translation of witness statements provided by the court translators employed.

Earlier this year, another trial was cancelled after the Canadian Supreme Court judge declared a mistrial in the case of a sexual assault charge against a worker on a temporary Canadian work visa of Indian origin. The translation of the defendant’s statements was so poor, according to the judge, that he decided that the defendant was not receiving “full linguistic presence” and dismissed the case against him.
