Terminology as an Indicator of Legal Translation Quality
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2021, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims at highlighting the importance of legal terms in identifying the legal text features, which are regarded as a key element because they are connected to different legal systems and cultural concepts from the perspective of comparative law. Therefore, it is very important to know what are the main factors enabling them to become an indicator of quality in legal translation. In this regard, we have attempted to deal with legal terms and their main characteristics in a way to focus on the difference between the term and the concept. Then, we have opted for identifying the main challenges that may encounter the translator when translating. Finally, the study is extended to the adopted techniques in this field in order to achieve accuracy and the same effect to insure the quality in translating legal documents, as well as to the concept of quality in legal translation.
