Extract

Not being myself either a linguist or a translator, the purpose of this speech will be to bring the testimony of a young researcher who must deal—during his master thesis or his PhD. Thesis—with: first, the problems one faces regarding legal translations, and second, the use of legal sources transcribed in a language that differs from one's first language. Finally, we will touch on the use of sources which are pre-translated.
