Legal Translation is not for everyone! Legal documents are complex, full of different sentence structures, and have unique terminology. This means that legal Translation requires a legal translator who is a subject matter expert. Because there is no room for errors or ambiguity in legal translation as the consequences can be huge. A single error may lead to legal or financial complications. There are different types of legal translation including but not limited to contracts and agreements, financial records, litigation papers, intellectual property papers, and corporate documents. In this blog, we will look at some of the legal translation types to understand legal translation.

Before we look closer at some of the legal translation types, we need to raise a very important question that is asked frequently;

Is legal Translation Creative?

Creative translation is about adapting a text to a different language by avoiding literal translations while adhering to the essence of a text. This means that the translator may change or re-write some words or sentences. In other words, creative translation allows the translator’s imagination to take over in some texts. However, translation as an activity is considered to be creative. But when it comes to legal translation, it is totally different, as legal translation has a unique nature.

A small mistake or misinterpretation may lead to huge legal or financial complications. Legal translators cannot add or remove a word or sentence and of course, cannot use his / her imagination in a legal text.   Translating legal documents requires a deep understanding of the two different laws in countries of source and target languages. An expert legal translator can find the right equivalent of any word or term used without adding or removing a word or a sentence.

However, in another perspective, a legal translator can be creative in terms of finding the right alternatives, figuring out ways to communicate ideas without prejudice to the source text’s meaning, and searching for solutions to text problems while keeping accuracy.
