Guest post – Legal translation…Why faster isn’t always better
Today I am very excited to share with you a post that, in my opinion, really sums up a great deal of best practice when buying legal translation.
The post is by Cynthia Hazleton, J.D., who is licensed to practice law in Ohio, and also has two Master’s Degrees – one in French, and one in French Translation. Cynthia has worked in the translation departments of Ernst & Young and the French Ministry of Justice, both in Paris. She teaches French Legal, Commercial and Diplomatic Translation at Kent State University, USA, and also has her own legal translation business.
Over to you Cynthia!
Surveys on legal translation now closing
Regular readers may have noticed the links at the top left of this blog to two surveys – one for those commissioning/buying legal translations, and the other for freelance legal translators.
The surveys form part of a PhD project, and I am now about to close them and write up the results.
So if anyone knows a person that might be willing to complete either survey, and has not yet done so, could you kindly let them know asap?
Please feel free to repost/retweet/communicate this message as widely as possible. Thank you! 🙂
Just to recap…
