Translation

Translation of legal terminology presents special problems since the terms in one language may have no equivalent in the English-speaking Common law world and vice versa. As this (pdf) article by Victoria Mishchenko suggests the choice of strategy will depend on the intended audience for the translation and the uses which it is expected to put the document to.

Translation should be included as a language skill in this wiki and some specific issues may be covered in the area of countries and jurisdictions. see http://www.jostrans.org/ For detailed commentaries on legal translations between English and German see http://www.transblawg.eu/ Some articles on legal translation available here
