Legal Translation

Law is a set of laws that strengthen the order of societies, protect the rights of individuals and are reinforced by state sanctions.

Law continues its existence since the early ages as a set of laws that regulate our lives. Legal arrangements entered into force in order to solve the problems that emerged in the first civilization settlements established in Mesopotamia region. The most popular of these are the laws issued by Hammurabi, the King of Babylon.  Hammurabi Laws, which are built on the concept of short, even if they are not the first legal regulations, they are at the forefront of the laws that have survived to the present day. For instance, one rule is: "If a burglar breaks into a house by drilling a wall, he is punished with death in front of that hole and buried”

In the early years of the Roman Empire, a body of laws which is called Citizens' Law has been in effect for nearly 600 years. But, the first written law of Rome was the "12 Plate Laws" which is known by almost everyone. These laws consisted the main issues, including the beginning of European law. Roman laws, written on 12 bronze plates at the end of the struggle of the Patriarchs  (Full citizens who have the right to vote and to be elected) and Plebs (semi-citizens who do not have the right to vote and be elected), regarded everyone as equal before the law. In the Middle Ages, the legal order was destroyed as a result of the turmoil in Europe. On the other hand, an advanced legal system was being applied in the Islamic geography with the effect of the this religion. When the medieval era was over, the understanding of modern law developed thanks to the rise of freedom of thought in Europe. 12 European Law, which accepts Laws as a source, has affected the whole world.

Legal translation is the process of translating of any legal text, article or documents from the source language to the target language.

Because they affect the future of individuals or organizations, Legal texts are a very significant issue. In this context, every legal translation to be made, may directly affect court decisions and performing wrong translation can lead to grievances. At this point, it is absolutely essential that legal texts are translated by expert translators.  

It will be incomplete to assess the importance of legal translations only in the size of court decisions. As an example, the slightest mistake that can be made in the translation of a legal publication may mislead the people of the law receiving information from this source. In such cases, legal grievances may arise again, as there will be inaccuracies in the decisions to be taken or the steps to be taken.
