This is precisely why the market for <strong>professional legal translations<\/strong>&nbsp;is constantly growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legal language<\/strong>&nbsp;is full of specific terminology. The presence or absence of a single word in legal texts is capable of modifying the entire document, in some cases going so far as to invalidate its <strong>legal value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who has to deal with legal documents knows that this sectoral language considerably differs from the language we normally speak. In addition, each jurisdiction is accompanied by its own &#8216;legal language&#8217;, meaning its own <strong>formulas, syntax&nbsp;<\/strong>and <strong>terminology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore clear that mere knowledge of the two languages involved in the translation process is a necessary but totally insufficient condition. This is why at ASTW,&nbsp;<strong>our translators are native-speaker legal professionals enrolled in the relevant registers <\/strong>of their countries of residence, or&nbsp;<strong>with legal degrees <\/strong>and <strong>extensive experience <\/strong>in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WHY DISCUSS PROFESSIONAL LEGAL TRANSLATIONS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to address the subject of professional legal translations in order to raise awareness of the possible <strong>pitfalls that a legal text can contain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider for example a corporate marketing text: if it has a translation error, the consequences will in the worst case scenario <strong>damage the company&#8217;s image<\/strong>&nbsp;and <strong>cause a promotional <\/strong><strong>campaign to have poor results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly not nothing, of course, and it&#8217;s precisely to avoid such problems that <strong>relying on experienced linguists is always the right solution<\/strong>. However, the weight of these inconveniences may seem small compared to the impact that a translation error can have in the <strong>legal field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The repercussions can be twofold:&nbsp;both <strong>economic and legal<\/strong>. In both cases, the seriousness of these errors can lead to complicated situations that are difficult to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preemptively ensuring that every legal translation is 100% accurate is not an easy task for less experienced, or worse, non-professional translators.&nbsp;From perfectly drafted documents to complicated negotiations, difficult or unclear documents and problematic contracts,&nbsp;<strong>these translations must be done flawlessly<\/strong>.&nbsp;This is why more and more customers are opting for professional legal translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The linguist or language service agency to rely on must have a high level of linguistic competence in both the <strong>source and target languages<\/strong>, as well as&nbsp;<strong>excellent knowledge of the legal system, terminology<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>culture<\/strong>&nbsp;of both countries.&nbsp;Moreover, the legal terminology used in the two languages can often be vastly different, and the translator must be able to compare both the legal systems and the languages involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.a-stw.com\/en\/translations\/legal-translations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">ASTW<\/span><\/strong>,<\/a> we guarantee&nbsp;<strong>reliability and accuracy<\/strong>&nbsp;in every translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Relying on experts is the key to success, in any field.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>English translation and adaptation by <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sarah-schneider-it-en-translator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">Sarah Schneider<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-css-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><sub>Photo from <\/sub><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/it-it\/foto\/mani-segno-penna-scrittura-5387258\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><sub>Pexels<\/sub><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legal field is certainly the most exposed to possible disputes and unpleasant consequences&nbsp;caused by an incorrect or inaccurate translation.
