Legal Translation in Economic Diplomacy: Facilitating International Trade Agreements
摘要
Legal translation occupies an important strategic position in economic diplomacy, as it is part of the communication channels between different countries, for example when drafting international trade agreements. This article explores some of the challenges translators face when dealing with international trade agreements, including drafting complex legal concepts, understanding and managing cultural and linguistic complexities, and maintaining confidentiality and data protection. Furthermore, the importance of lifelong training and the need to work with lawyers and translators to overcome the above challenges was emphasized. Although technological developments have created tools such as machine translation, humans are the primary means of faithfully and accurately translating legal texts. The conclusion emphasizes that legal translators must possess interdisciplinary legal knowledge and draw on this knowledge when building resources to respond to the legal environment of international trade agreements.
