A practical guide to translating legal English

Legal Translation Explained examines the linguistic features and specialized concepts that make English legal language challenging to translate. Its chapters move from the language system itself to legal translation genres, then work through practical problems and proposed solutions. Examples of specific terms and discussion of how translators approach difficult choices give the subject a concrete, problem-solving structure. The book connects conceptual groundwork with applied practice, making it useful as both a course manual and a reference on legal translation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and teachers of legal translation
  • Professional translators working with English legal language
  • Independent learners seeking practical examples and terminology discussions

Book overview

Focusing on the problems of translating English legal language, Alcaraz and Hughes offer a wide-ranging view of one of the most demanding and vital areas of contemporary translation practice. Individual chapters deal with legal English as a linguistic system, special concepts in the translation of legal English, the genres of legal translation, and offer a series of practical problems together with discussions of proposed solutions, as well as insight into the pragmatic ways translators go about finding solutions.

The numerous examples and discussions of specific terms make the book useful both as a manual in the translation class and as an invaluable reference work for students, teachers, self-learners and professional translators.
