Details that Matter in the Translation of Legal Terms

Summary/Abstract: If details seem to add centripetal strength to a work of art, they definitely bring accuracy to a piece of translation. Extra-linguistic details of a juridical nature are essential in the process of translating legal texts. Such details should be considered when making the distinction, for instance, between the Romanian terms “decizie” and “hotărâre” before translating them into English. The paper also aims to analyze the options for the translation of certain Romanian legal expressions, notions and institutions which seem to have no equivalent in English.
