Although English is the language of business around the globe, the need for translation is on the rise. Domestically, one in five U.S. residents speak a language other than English at home, and the U.S. census expects minorities to become the majority by 2042. At the same time global commerce continues to drive the need for multilingual contracts, forms, M&A, litigation and more. So how do you know if your legal translation reads the same as the original English? Does the translation preserve the legalese and capture the nuance? And, are you paying too much?
Our next webinar will uncover the hidden pitfalls of managing legal translation and how to best prevent them before they jeopardize your content—or reputation. You will learn how to leverage the right language technology, teams and resources to ensure consistency and accuracy in your legal communications.
In this webinar we will discuss:
- Examples of common mistakes during translation – from contracts, arbitration clauses, patents to privacy policies.
- Ten mistakes to avoid including mismatched translator qualifications, glossaries to machine translation and more
- Strategies for cost savings
