Legal Translation Of Documents
The term ‘Legal translation’ refers to a legal rendering process, in which an official document will translate into another country’s official language. In most countries, the rendering process has been done by a specialized legal translator. This is a remedial solution for the language barrier. The legal translation process can be done in every kind of personal and professional documents.
Documents applicable for legal translation are

Legal translation helps destination country’s authorities in understanding the content of the document easily. For example, English is an official language, but in GCC countries English is not the official language so the certificate holder should translate the document into the official language of GCC countries (Arabic). It is not a necessary procedure, but now it is prevalent in some of the countries. The original document is the one and only requirement to apply a legal translation. In this translation, the source language document will be translated into the target language.
