Legal translation

The team of MacroGlobal Translation Agency provides legal translation services in Kyiv and throughout Ukraine. We perform legal translation of any documents for both individuals and organizations that carry out any type of activity in Ukraine and around the world.

Legal translation is one of the most popular types of translation. That’s why accurate and correct legal translation is a laborious task that not every specialist can perform. In every language, we have employees of MacroGlobal Translation Agency who specialize in legal translation, having extensive experience and education in this field.

WHAT IS A LEGAL TRANSLATION

Legal translation is a written translation of legal and judicial documents. Translation of legal topics requires not only linguistic training and vast experience, but also professional awareness of legal and legal issues. In our translation agency, such work is usually performed by employees who have two specialized degrees – law and philology.

TYPES OF LEGAL TRANSLATION

for individuals	for legal entities
Passports	Contracts
Diplomas	Affidavits
Certificates of marriage	Statutory documents
Birth certificates	Business correspondence
Death certificates	Regulatory documents
Certificates of divorce	Materials of civil and criminal cases
Consent to the child’s departure	Contracts

Certificates	Court documents
Powers of attorney	Tender documentation
	Protocols
	Purchase and sale agreements
	Licenses and certificates

There are 6 main types of documents subject to legal translation. All of them have their own specific differences:

contracts, agreements and arrangements governing civil transactions (purchase and sale, delivery of goods, lease of residential and commercial premises, employment contracts)
licenses and memorandums;
documents required for legalization in another country;
regulatory legal acts (laws, protocols);
documents to be submitted to the court;
apostilles, powers of attorney, certificates and decisions;

But, frankly speaking, the scope of legal translation is much wider. Professional services may include a translated power of attorney, bank guarantees, business correspondence, business plan, etc. Translation of legal documents involves establishing legal and business relations. Translating and editing texts, studying the context, and having a deep understanding of the topic are part of this. Don’t forget that footers, footnotes, inscriptions on seals and stamps, corrections, handwriting, tables, lists, and indexes are also subject to translation into a foreign language.

For someone performing such a translation, it is important to have a perfect knowledge of the language, its style, vocabulary and grammar. They must have a thorough understanding of the rules of the game in the “legal field,” the intricacies of legislation, international standards, and the details of the legal systems of another country.

You can simply translate a text without carefully considering the details and context. What is the benefit of such a translation? And isn’t it guaranteed that the decision on consideration will be favorable to you? After all, you may not get a positive decision in this case. Moreover, even the slightest mistake can lead to losses or even a lawsuit.

What does it mean to be a professional translator? This means being a person who is fluent in a language, has a good knowledge of a particular area of law and has a professional “legal foreign” language with its specific vocabulary.

The specificity of legal translation is that it requires a careful selection of foreign analogues. The correct use of legal jargon – “legalese” – is very important. After all, it is not easy to understand. For example, in English jurisprudence, there is the term “trespass”, which means “trespassing without the owner’s consent”, or the phrase “voir dire” (“preliminary examination of witnesses”). These expressions are inappropriate in Ukrainian translation because they are incomprehensible to a local lawyer.
