Difficulties faced in legal translation. by Daniela Cristal Castro https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf en-us 2022-11-03 02:46:01 UTC 2022-11-03 04:38:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f47b.png The process cristalcastroescolar https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367789675 Must take into account the culture and the format of the source text and be careful with the words since maybe the word chosen is not an equivalent.]]> 2022-11-03 04:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367789675 Purpose and Status of Translated PrivateLegal Documents cristalcastroescolar https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367804753 The legal status of these translated documents may vary. They may be for
informative purpose or for normative purpose. For instance, contracts
sometimes stipulate that two language versions are equally authentic, that
is, both texts have equal legal force in the court of law. In other times,
contracts may stipulate that only one language version, not both, is legally
binding. They may nevertheless require translation, and such translations
are mainly for informative purpose. Court documents and other litigation
documents sometimes may require translations so that all the parties and
the court can have linguistic access to documents written in different
languages. ]]> 2022-11-03 04:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367804753 Textual features cristalcastroescolar https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367809012 • date of the agreement;

translation as other languages may not have a string of corresponding
words with similar meanings. For example, ‘null and void’ is translated as
wuxiao (no effect) into Chinese as one word. This is because there are no
two synonyms in Chinese to correspond the English doublet. In this case,
‘null and void’ in English has the essential meaning of ‘void’ in any event.]]> 2022-11-03 04:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367813955 Syntactical feature: Long and complex sentence structures cristalcastroescolar https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367817509 Syntax refers to the structure of sentences and sequences of words. While
words are the basic building blocks of language that carry meanings,
translation never remains at the lexical level, but goes beyond. Words in
translation never exist in isolation and their true meanings cannot be fully
appreciated unless they are construed with reference to the ways they are
structured.]]> 2022-11-03 04:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cristalcastroescolar/saaun8j3tdo6f1nf/wish/2367817509 Provisos are a traditional feature of English legal drafting in both privatelegal documents and statutes.
