What is legal translation?
Legal translation involves translating texts that delve into law, such as documentary evidence for trials, statements of claim, expert reports, notarial acts and certificates, etc. It is a highly complex and demanding specialisation where translators must know well the legal systems of all countries involved, together with the terminology and the conventions inherent to each domain.
Legal translation and sworn translation: are they the same?
We must not confuse legal translation with sworn translation. The latter is a translation delivered by a sworn translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Union, and Cooperation (MAEUEC in Spanish), which is fully valid before the authorities. Sworn translations are demanded for official documents such as certificates, diplomas, or passports.
While a sworn translation is official before any public or legal body, a legal translation is any translation whose content is legal but there is no need for it to have an official nature.
Both demand solid legal and terminology knowledge from the translator. However, we can also get a sworn and legal translation, which is a translation of a text whose subject matter is law but bears the seal and certificate of accuracy of a sworn translator.
At Equity Traducciones we offer both services. For more information, visit our webpage about sworn translations in Madrid.
