Translation might seem like an easy feat these days with free, online, automatic translation tools.
Even though automatic translation does have some undeniable benefits, it is still automatic – that is to say a translation void of subtlety, accuracy and underlying ideas.
One thing is for sure though: legal translation – done properly – should adapt to the legal system of the country, its culture and the company’s corporate culture.
So, how can you be sure the legal and financial concepts are translated faithfully into the target language?
Well, the translation market is highly competitive. There is an overabundance of players specialised in all types of translation out there,which, in what is an unregulated market, makes it difficult to choose the right service provider for the job. Indeed, any old Joe can masquerade as a translator or set up a translation business.
It’s also worth noting that translation has been used as a cover for espionage networks – as the KGB once knew too well.
Every translator and interpreter working for CG has signed a stringent confidentiality agreement which recalls Article L226-13 of the French Penal Code; everyone’s reliability, commitment and expertise is tested.
Translation mistakes, gobbledygook and omissions are rife in communications – including legal ones – issued by prestigious companies, who, wanting to cut costs, leave translation work to the mercy of in-house teams using Google Translate or a low-cost service provider.
This can often have detrimental consequences on the business’s image, with a guaranteed loss of credibility – not to mention the collateral damage linked to translated contracts.
