Our Professional Legal Translation Process

Professional Legal Services Translation requires a structured workflow because legal documents can contain specialized terminology, defined terms, financial figures, personal information, contractual obligations, and jurisdiction-specific language.

At Communication Legal Translation, each legal translation project can be assessed according to the source language, target language, document type, intended use, receiving authority, confidentiality requirements, complexity, and deadline.

A careful process helps maintain accuracy, terminology consistency, and document completeness.


Step 1: Submit the Legal Documents

The first step is to provide the document or documents requiring translation.

Common file types may include:

  • PDF
  • Microsoft Word
  • Scanned Documents
  • Clear Images
  • Excel
  • PowerPoint
  • Other Readable Digital Files

For legal documents, all pages should be included, including schedules, annexes, signatures, stamps, seals, and supporting pages where relevant.


Step 2: Confirm the Required Language Pair

Legal translation projects may involve:

  • English to Arabic
  • Arabic to English
  • French to Arabic
  • French to English
  • German to English
  • Russian to Arabic
  • Russian to English
  • Chinese to English
  • Spanish to English
  • Other Multilingual Combinations

If a project involves several target languages, the full scope should be identified before translation begins.


Step 3: Identify the Purpose of the Translation

The intended use of a legal document is important.

A translation may be required for:

  • Court-related Matters
  • Business Transactions
  • Corporate Administration
  • Employment
  • Real Estate
  • Banking
  • Arbitration
  • International Trade
  • Regulatory Purposes
  • Personal Legal Matters

If a document will be formally submitted, clients should confirm the current requirements of the receiving organization or authority.


Step 4: Determine the Appropriate Translation Type

Depending on the document and its intended use, the project may require:

  • Professional Legal Translation
  • Certified Translation
  • Legal Translation for Official Use
  • Supporting Translation
  • Notarization-related Procedures
  • Attestation-related Procedures

These terms do not necessarily mean the same thing.

The required process depends on the document and the receiving authority.


Step 5: Legal Translator Selection

Legal documents can cover many different areas of law.

Depending on the project, relevant experience may be required in:

  • Corporate Law
  • Commercial Law
  • Employment Law
  • Real Estate
  • Construction
  • Banking
  • Finance
  • Insurance
  • Intellectual Property
  • Litigation
  • Arbitration
  • Compliance

The translator should understand the legal context as well as the language combination.


Step 6: Terminology & Reference Review

Before translation begins, it can be useful to review:

  • Defined Terms
  • Previous Agreements
  • Corporate Terminology
  • Client Glossaries
  • Related Documents
  • Approved Names
  • Legal References
  • Existing Translations

This is especially valuable when translating a set of related contracts or corporate records.


Step 7: Professional Legal Translation

During translation, close attention should be given to:

  • Defined Terms
  • Legal Terminology
  • Rights
  • Obligations
  • Dates
  • Names
  • Financial Figures
  • Clause Numbers
  • Cross-References
  • Schedules
  • Annexes
  • Document Structure

The target-language version should accurately communicate the source without introducing new legal meaning.


Step 8: Defined Terms Consistency

Contracts often define specific words or phrases that are used throughout the document.

For example:

  • “Agreement”
  • “Services”
  • “Company”
  • “Customer”
  • “Confidential Information”
  • “Effective Date”

Once translated, these terms should remain consistent throughout the document unless the context clearly requires otherwise.


Step 9: Numbers, Dates & Financial Terms Review

Legal documents frequently contain sensitive numerical information.

Quality checks can cover:

  • Dates
  • Payment Amounts
  • Percentages
  • Interest Rates
  • Contract Periods
  • Notice Periods
  • Registration Numbers
  • Clause References
  • Identification Numbers

A numerical error can materially affect how a legal document is understood.


Step 10: Editing & Proofreading

Depending on the project requirements, the translation can undergo additional legal and linguistic review.

Checks may include:

  • Accuracy
  • Grammar
  • Legal Terminology
  • Completeness
  • Defined Terms
  • Names
  • Dates
  • Numbers
  • Cross-References
  • Formatting

Large or high-value projects may benefit from additional review stages.


Step 11: Final Quality Assurance

Before delivery, the translated document can be checked for:

  • Missing Clauses
  • Untranslated Text
  • Inconsistent Terms
  • Number Errors
  • Date Errors
  • Broken Cross-References
  • Incorrect Headings
  • Formatting Issues
  • Missing Schedules or Annexes

The final version should be complete and easy to compare with the source.


Certified Translation vs Legal Translation

These two terms are often confused.

Certified Translation

A certified translation generally includes a formal certification or declaration according to the service and intended use.

Legal Translation

Legal translation refers to translation of legal content or, in some jurisdictions, translation prepared according to specific legal requirements.

A legal document does not automatically require the same certification in every situation.

Clients should confirm the exact requirement with the receiving organization.


Legal Translation vs Notarized Translation

Notarization and legal translation are separate concepts.

A notarized document may involve verification or witnessing by a notary.

A legal translation involves translating legal content accurately into another language.

Depending on the purpose, a client may need one or both.


Legal Translation vs Attestation

Attestation generally relates to document authentication or legalization.

Translation relates to converting the document into another language.

A document may require:

  • Translation
  • Certification
  • Notarization
  • Attestation
  • Legalization

The exact process depends on the document, country, and receiving authority.

  • Claims
  • Statements

Terminology consistency is especially important where the same terms appear across multiple submissions.


Witness Statement Translation

Witness statements should preserve:

  • Chronology
  • Facts
  • Names
  • Dates
  • Locations
  • References
  • Tone

The translator should not independently change or reinterpret the witness’s statement.


Expert Report Translation

Expert reports can combine legal, technical, financial, medical, or engineering terminology.

Translation may therefore require subject-specific expertise in addition to legal translation experience.

Documents can include:

  • Engineering Reports

Legal Evidence Translation

Evidence used in legal matters may include:
