Tips For Selecting the Best Legal Translation Service

May 28, 2021 By Editor

Legal translation is a complex segment of the translation sector. As any mistake in legal translation can land the law firm, their clients, and other involved parties in serious issues, a legal translator should have a deep knowledge of legal terminologies and expertise in both target and source language. 

Hence, the importance of selecting a good legal translation service cannot be underemphasized. If you are looking for a legal translation service, these tips might help you find a good one. 

Look for a service that specializes in legal translation 

Translations are of various types- medical translation, commercial translation, administrative translation, technical translation, etc. Most translation companies have their tentacles spread in every discipline, while some accept specific translation projects. The companies belonging to the latter category work with specialists with a deeper knowledge of the subject matter and their area. 

Select a translation service that specializes in legal translation. Their translators understand the legal terminologies and leave no scope for any mistake while translating your documents. Plus, by having an expert translator who understands the law, you will also get a legal support service. 

You can either opt for only translation service or translation service along with interpreting service. 

Check the reputation of the company 

Work with a legal translation company that has earned a good name for itself. Check the experience of the company and find out their former clients. Check for online references to gauge the reputation of the company. Reach out to their clients to know how they deal with their clients. 

A reputable legal translation service will not only help you translate your legal documents but also help you understand the foreign culture and deal with the challenges. 

Furthermore, a translation company with a good reputation in the market runs from post to pillar to safeguard its prestige. Hence, rest assured, you will get quality services, accurate and properly formatted documents, and exceptional customer care service. 

Know about their confidentiality policy 

When it comes to legal issues, trusting a third party can get a little tricky. It jeopardizes the security of sensitive legal data. Hence, before hiring any legal translation service, know about their confidentiality policy. 

Ensure that the service has a strict confidentiality policy (Translators Confidentiality Agreements) and uses robust systems (data protection and cybersecurity tools) to safeguard the legal documents and sensitive information. 

Ask for certifications 

How will you possibly know the legal translation is accurate unless you have solid evidence proving the same?

Government departments and courts demand evidence to prove that the legal document is accurate. Hence, you require a certified translation from an acknowledged translation service. Make sure you select a certified legal translation service. 

Look for a service, which is a member of the Association of Translation Companies that renders a strict code of conduct for the members. 

If you want to work with a freelancer, select a translator who is a member of any relevant professional organization. An affiliation from AIIC, Institute of Linguists, and Institute of Translation and Interpreting would be perfect. There are many reputable sources that specialize in Korean language translation.

Check their knowledge of the legal system of the targeted country 

As already said, your legal translator should be familiar with the laws of the source language country, as well as the targeted country. 

Not all systems across the globe share the same legal terminology. Legal terms do not have precise meanings in their translation in other languages. Hence, having a translator with a good grip on the language as well as the law of the targeted country is crucial. 

Select a translator based on their knowledge of the legal system and the language of the targeted country. 

The bottom line 

The complexity of the legal language makes legal translation difficult. Take extra care while selecting a legal translator for you. Use these tips to find the best one.
