The translation of legal documents has always been challenging mainly due to the difference between the Romanian system of justice and that of common-law countries. The main issues that have to be considered are:
TERMINOLOGY
The correct usage of legal vocabulatory; the avoidance of false friends (words that may seem similar to ones existing in the native language but which either do not exist or have a totally different meaning); legal collocations; and last but not least, the proper translation of words and phrases refering to concepts that do not exist either in the Romanian or the common-law legal system.
REGISTER
Formality is highly important in legal documents hence, it is essential to know which words to avoid and which words to use in specific contexts.
WORD SEQUENCE
English language is different to Romanian in terms of word sequence in a sentence, and, all the more, legal English is even more different.
