Legal Translations…What’s So Special?
Legal translation is the challenging translation of the court’s traditional language, legal settings, and documents from one language to another. Translators interpret many forms and documents, including patents, court rulings, petitions, litigation documents, wills, transcripts, and financial documents.
Legal Language Variations
It may be surprising to hear that legal translation is much more complicated than translating non-legal text from one language to another. The translations are problematic because the terminology varies, depending upon location. The legal translator must have rigorous knowledge of the legal system and how it works. Because legal language differs, legal translation may not be verbally linguistically transparent.
Legal writing is generally technical and precise. Proper verbiage ensures the legal documents are legally binding, and this means that the translation of the correct wording is essential. To avoid legal translation problems, it’s imperative that the text is authentic and doesn’t include any significant mistakes that would invalidate the contract. Courts will only accept accurate text.
Extensive Training
The legal translator must be trained extensively and have substantial legal system knowledge within multiple systems to adequately complete their duties. Examples of varying systems include source text vs. target text, etc.
Another issue is that legal language is not effortlessly spoken out loud from written text. The translator has the difficult task of turning spoken language into the correctly formatted written form. Before beginning any translation, it’s essential to decide which form of legal terminology the translator should use for the transcription.
Helpful Legal Translation Tools
Specialized bilingual or polyglot law dictionaries are available, and they are essential tools used by legal translators. However, translators should verify the information is correct because some bilingual dictionaries may have inaccuracies. There is a long-running debate in the legal world about whether the court should require the target text language or if the court should broaden the accepted legal vocabulary. For now, legal translations remain demanding.

Test the Waters with a New Target Audience by Using Translation Services
Translation services are useful for businesses which seek to expand and grow. When you start a small business, you’re probably just selling to a certain type of customer who lives in a certain area. Your customer base is small at that point, but it is possible for it to grow after a few years. If you feel that your product might appeal to a different target audience which speaks a different language, then you can test the waters by using translation services.
How Translatable Is Your Marketing Slogan?
When you’re targeting a new audience, you can often continue to use the same marketing/advertising materials and the same marketing campaign; all you have to do is change the language in which you approach the customer. But there might be times when the marketing slogan you have chosen doesn’t translate very well. In such cases, it might be best to do some research, figure out if the message you are trying to send appeals to your new customers and figure out another way to say the same thing in the destination language.
What Features of Your Product Do You Emphasize?
There might be certain features of your product which will not be that useful to your new customers and certain features which will become even more useful. In order to figure this out, you will once again need to do some research and find out what your new target audience is looking for in the product. Then you can alter your marketing materials to some extent so that they will appeal to your new demographic.
Understanding the Culture of Your Target Audience
When you work with a good translator, they should be able to give you more information about your target audience. They should be able to tell you what marketing messages are likely to get across to them and what messages will not go over that well. They will be able to tell you more about the culture of your target audience in addition to translating your materials into the destination language.

Desafíos de la traducción en una ciudad multicultural
Vancouver, B.C. es una de las ciudades más diversas del mundo. Es famosa por su gran población china; de hecho, el Vancouver Sun la denominó “la ciudad más asiática fuera de Asia”, citando una población asiática de más del 40%, un porcentaje mucho mayor que cualquier ciudad fuera de Asia.
Pero las complejidades del lenguaje provienen del tapiz más amplio de la ciudad. Casi el 40% de las personas de origen asiático hablan asiático en casa, por ejemplo, según el Canadian Broadcasting Service (CBC).
De hecho, de los casi 1 millón de personas que hablan un idioma distinto del inglés en casa, el grupo más grande es el punjab, con casi el 20%, y el cantonés, con el 16%.
Este aspecto multicultural de Vancouver la convierte en una ciudad mundial emocionante y se suma a la vitalidad de su cultura y su vida financiera. Sin embargo, plantea problemas de accesibilidad pública. En los hospitales, por ejemplo, el CBC cita a Jas Cheema de la Autoridad de Salud de Fraser diciendo que la necesidad de intérpretes es "crucial, podría ser una cuestión de vida o muerte". Además de simplemente tratar a los enfermos y mantener el bienestar, muchas autoridades hospitalarias piensan que la traducción ayudaría con los tiempos de espera y la gestión en los hospitales.
Por lo tanto, la salud y la seguridad dependen de una traducción precisa, así como del simple acceso público. Estos pueden presentar desafíos. La amplia variedad de grupos étnicos significa que el material debe traducirse a través de múltiples canales, con sensibilidad tanto al idioma como a la cultura. Los traductores deben ser conscientes de esto de múltiples formas y de la amplia variedad de idiomas dentro de una cultura determinada. China e India son solo dos ejemplos de países con múltiples idiomas nacionales.

Three Tips on Multilingual Packaging
Multilingual packaging is an essential step in expanding your reach and making your company stand out among competitors. The power of the written word should not be underestimated. Customers want the chance to read the relevant information about your product in their language; they want to feel included in your consideration. The problem is, not just anybody can produce quality translated content. This one is a challenge that can’t be solved by Google Translate. Here a few key points on multilingual packaging and how you can make it work for you.
Consider Culture
Translation can be a messy business. The thousands of languages in the world represent thousands of cultures, all with unique ways of viewing life and language. You don’t want to offend anyone by misunderstanding their slang, colloquialisms, or idiomatic expressions. Always try to use a native speaker to translate the message you want to share, as simple or as in-depth as it may be.
Simplify
Too many words can be confusing and frustrating no matter what language you speak. Try to keep your packaging simple and rely more on the aspects of color, design, and symbols to get your message across. You may not have to translate every word to be understood. If you do, you may want to consider a multi-layer label like those found on medicine bottles or a sign indicating that multiple languages can be found inside. You could also tap into the ever-growing power of the online market by implementing a QR code that leads to a multilingual website.
Plan Ahead
It takes time and effort to translate anything. If you want high-quality content, it is going to require sincere effort and dedication. You will need a native speaker to read your message, translate it into culturally appropriate terms, and incorporate it into your design. Language is power, so you’ll want to make sure you get this one right.

Translating into the Right Version of the Destination Language
When you get translation services from one language into another, you need to be sure that you’re working with a good translator. The person who does the translation needs to be fluent in both, the source and the destination language. In addition, they need to speak the right version of the source and destination language.
Different Versions of the Same Language
If your document has to be translated into Brazilian Portuguese, then the translator should be familiar with that kind of Portuguese, as opposed to the Portuguese spoken into Portugal. Of course, there might be more similarities rather than differences between these two types of Portuguese, but if you use the wrong kind, then the people reading the document or advertisement are likely to note it. In other words, the differences may seem minor to someone who doesn’t speak either of the two versions of Portuguese, but they will stand out a great deal to someone who does.
Different Types of English in the World
One can understand the difference between two versions of the same language by considering the various kinds of English spoken throughout the world today. Although American English, British English, Australian English and Indian English might all be various forms of English, they contain differences that are quite obvious to the people who speak them.
English in the US vs. English in the UK
Americans say “aluminum” while Britishers say “aluminium,” with an extra “i”; the words are pronounced differently as well. So if you were to place a large advertisement in an American city with the word “aluminium” in it (with an “i”), it would stand out like a sore thumb. The same goes for “aluminum” without the “i” in the UK.
There are many little differences like this between different types of English e.g. many words which end in “or” in American English end in “our” in British English. This applies to “color,” “honor,” “neighbor” etc. The British say “trainers” where Americans say “sneakers” and the British say “jumpers” where Americans say “sweaters.”
Translating into the Right Version of the Destination Language
The differences between two versions of the same language are many, as anyone who has had the time to study the two will know. This is why it’s necessary for a translator to be clear about the version of the destination language that they are translating into and to be familiar with it.
