Legal translation is multilingual communication because it enables the individuals, companies, government and legal agencies to communicate across different languages and cultures within the state and across state borders. The task of translating the written document from one language into another is done by translators.
What is a legal translator?
The legal translator is the one who has the proper knowledge of basic concepts and terminologies of law and also of that area to which it is being applied. They must have the knowledge of specialist terminology and linguistic conventions that are used in legal documents. They must have a language-specific skill set, have complete command of their native language and they also should have an equal level of authority with other languages. In addition to that, they have an understanding of differences in meaning, expressions and tones and have an advanced level of knowledge of their source language.
