What is Legal Translation?
Legal translation is the process of converting legal documents from one language to another with absolute precision. It’s more than just translating words — it’s about ensuring that the legal meaning, tone, and intent remain intact in the target language and jurisdiction.
This type of translation is required when legal documents, such as contracts, court rulings, patents, or certificates, need to be used or submitted in a different country. Since laws, legal systems, and terminology vary between jurisdictions, legal translation demands specialised linguistic expertise and a deep understanding of legal frameworks in both the source and target countries.
No room for mistakes
At Langbox, we recognise that even the smallest error in a legal translation can lead to serious consequences, including contract disputes, compliance issues, or delays in legal proceedings.
That’s why we work exclusively with certified legal translators who:
Have a background in law or legal translation
Are native speakers of the target language
Stay up to date with changes in international legal standards
We also incorporate a rigorous multi-step quality process, which includes proofreading and legal review, to ensure every document meets the standards required by courts, law firms, and regulatory bodies.
Whether you’re translating documents for litigation, immigration, mergers & acquisitions, or compliance, Langbox delivers the accuracy, confidentiality, and reliability you need.
