What is the difference between legal translation and translation?
Translation is the process of converting written content from one language into another while preserving its meaning, tone, and purpose. It can apply to everyday, business, technical, marketing, or creative texts, where the translator focuses on clear communication for the target audience.
Legal translation is a specialized form of translation used for documents with legal effect or legal context, such as contracts, court judgments, powers of attorney, regulations, and immigration papers. It requires precise legal terminology, knowledge of both legal systems, and careful preservation of rights, obligations, and enforceability; even a small error can change a clause's meaning or create legal risk.
