Legal Translation: A Task Requiring a Great Precision

Legal translation is a specialization that requires an excellent understanding of legal jargon. The translator must, therefore, be familiar with the legal systems of both the source and target languages. They must also understand the context of your project to provide a reliable legal translation that is perfectly understandable to your foreign counterparts. Beyond translating words, legal translators must also be aware of legal concepts and the names of institutions in the destination country of the translation.

In a field that leaves no room for approximation, our legal translators are available to translate your documents in the legal sector. All of them have expertise in specific areas of law: judicial matters, intellectual property, insurance, or real estate.

The skills of a legal translator include:

• In-depth knowledge of the legal industry.
• Precision and attention to detail to translate without altering the meaning, ensuring meticulousness and language accuracy.
• Research skills to guarantee the accuracy of every term.
• Upholding strict confidentiality.
• Writing skills to produce a well-structured text that reflects the style and tone of the original documents.
• Perfect command of two languages (source and target languages), for example, English and French, English and Arabic, English and Chinese, English and Spanish, etc.
• Cultural sensitivity to understand nuances that may influence legal practice.
• Organizational skills.
• Respect for deadlines, especially for rush translations, to meet all timelines requested by clients.
  Professional ethics to act with integrity and in accordance with professional standards of language services.

For official procedures, it is necessary to obtain a certified translation. These translations must be performed by translators accredited by provincial translator associations such as OTTIAQ, ATIO, ATIA, or STIBC. Only these translations will be recognized by government organizations like IRCC or CIC. Our company can provide these official translations thanks to our network of certified specialists.
