Title:
LEGAL TRANSLATION – A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ENDEAVOUR
Creator:
SCOTT, Juliette
Description:
Legal translation is a highly skilled task. It has even been described as the “ultimate linguistic challenge” (Harvey 2002: 177). However, law firms or corporations that procure translations from self- employed translation practitioners often find the intricacies of the task difficult to perceive. Following extensive fieldwork examining how legal translation is commissioned and performed in ‘outstitutional’ contexts, I have developed a multidimensional model which illustrates the legal translator’s textual agency, aimed at conveying the complexities of translation performance to clients and other stakeholders. It may also serve to train fledgling legal translators, and to heighten practising translators’ awareness of their overall task. The impetus for the model sprang primarily from findings of serious information asymmetry and goal divergence in the market, and evidence that actors involved do not grasp (a) the need for legal translators to be fully briefed, or (b) the layers of skills involved. ;
Tłumaczenie prawne jest zadaniem wymagającym wysokich kwalifikacji. Zostało nawet opisane jako „największe wyzwanie językowe” (Harvey 2002: 177). Jednak firmy prawnicze lub korporacje, które zamawiają tłumaczenia od samozatrudnionych tłumaczy często nie zauważają zawiłości tego zadania. Po przeprowadzeniu szeroko zakrojonych badań terenowych, analizując, w jaki sposób zlecane jest tłumaczenie prawne i przeprowadzane w kontekście „pozainstytucjonalnym”, opracowałam wielowymiarowy model, który ilustruje złożoności wykonania tłumaczenia. Może również służyć kształceniu początkujących tłumaczy prawniczych i zwiększaniu świadomości tłumaczy na temat ich zadania.
