Legal Translation German → Spanish
A legal translation is the transfer of a legal text into another language in a way that is not only linguistically correct but also works within the target legal system. As a qualified lawyer and certified interpreter, I translate legal texts from German, English and French into Spanish.
When do you need specialised legal translation?
Whenever a translation error would carry legal consequences. Legal translation is legal work carried out through linguistic means.
