Today I am really pleased to be able to offer you a post in French, by Manuela Ciuruc. She has some interesting suggestions about working with agencies.
Manuela is a translator and lawyer-linguist who works in French, Romanian and English. She has worked for large international groups, and took the prestigious Masters juriste-linguiste at the University of Poitiers, as well as a Masters in Translation Studies.

The full title of the post is “Traduction du contenu juridique – le juste milieu entre rigueur intellectuelle et impératifs commerciaux (Faudrait-il toujours imposer les principes de qualité en traduction juridique en tant qu’indépendant, lorsque votre collaborateur direct n’y semble pas intéressé ?)“.
Over to you Manuela! (And don’t forget everyone, posts in other languages are most welcome on this blog!) Continue reading

Hello everybody!
As you know, this blog features Guest Posts from time to time, so I’d like to remind you all that you are most welcome to submit your ideas.
It would be lovely to give a voice to some of my loyal readers – and new ones too of course.
My only criterion is that posts need to be within the scope of the blog – i.e. something connected with translation and the law. Posts do *not* need to be in English, au contraire !
Half a billion people in emerging countries have no access to reading glasses. Countless million Americans go to the countries where glasses are needed. What if each traveler brought a pair of readers with them and gave them to the first person they saw that needed them? What if that person was YOU?
For this guest post I am pleased to welcome John O’Shea, a highly experienced Greek-English legal translator with a background in law, for his insights into the challenges and pitfalls of legal translation.

John is currently on the European Board of FIT (the International Federation of Translators), and also has been a university lecturer. Continue reading
