Abstract

This paper deals with a number of considerations on the teaching of an essential area in the field of translation: legal translation. As translation is increasingly considered an intercultural endeavour, legal translation is of great importance as it is an excellent introduction to legal culture, a key element of a country’s general culture. It is also one of the main specialist fields for professional translators, so several essential skills to be acquired by would-be legal translators are also reviewed in this paper.
