“Legal translation is widely recognised as a high-stakes, domain-specific activity in which linguistic accuracy is inseparable from the goal of achieving an equivalent, uniform legal effect. Unlike general or literary translation, legal translation operates within tightly constrained systems of meaning shaped by jurisdiction-specific norms, institutional practices, and codified terminology. A mistranslation in this domain is not merely a semantic error; it can alter rights, obligations, and legal outcomes, potentially leading to financial loss, contractual disputes, or miscarriages of justice.”
