Introduction
Legal translation is a specialization which covers law-related or legal specialist field translation in
terms of content as well as context (e.g. legal settings). Given the highly specialist field, potential legal
consequences, and formal and liability issues, this specialization requires specific competences and
a very professional approach from the specialist translators involved. Due to the formalized, official
or sensitive nature of the subject matter in some countries, settings and under certain circumstances,
legal translators may be subject to specific professional, confidentiality and ethical requirements,
authorization, certification, and security clearance procedures. Furthermore, in some countries,
certain types of legal translation are performed by authorized legal translators who have to comply
with specific official requirements.
Serious legal issues and other consequences can be avoided if the legal translation service is provided
by competent legal translators who have professional understanding of the relevant legal systems,
knowledge of legal terminology and target language genre conventions and can produce authentic texts.
Legal documents constitute the basis for many personal and business undertakings. Legal translation
is a highly specialized type of translation service which is frequently used in official and legal settings
and this requires meeting the highest professional quality benchmarks. Taking the above into account
as well as the fact that there are no international standards in this area, this document was developed
in response to the evident market need.
This document is intended for implementation by individual translators who specialize in the provision
of legal translation services.

L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux.
L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui
concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier de prendre note des différents
critères d’approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document a été
rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2 (voir www

Introduction
La traduction juridique et judiciaire est une spécialisation qui couvre aussi bien le contenu que le contexte
(par exemple, le cadre juridique) de traductions relatives au droit ou à un domaine de spécialisation
juridique. Compte tenu du domaine hautement spécialisé, des conséquences juridiques potentielles et
des enjeux de forme et de responsabilité, cette spécialisation requiert des compétences particulières
et une approche très professionnelle de la part des traducteurs concernés. Du fait de la nature
formelle, officielle ou sensible du sujet traité dans certains pays, cadres juridiques et circonstances,
les traducteurs juridiques et judiciaires peuvent être soumis à des exigences professionnelles, de
confidentialité et de déontologie spécifiques ainsi qu’à des procédures d’autorisation, de certification
et d’habilitation de sécurité. En outre, dans certains pays, certains types de traduction juridique et
judiciaire sont effectués par des traducteurs habilités qui sont tenus de se conformer à des exigences
officielles spécifiques.
De graves problèmes juridiques et judiciaires et d’autres conséquences peuvent être évités si le
service de traduction juridique et judiciaire est fourni par des traducteurs compétents qui ont une
compréhension professionnelle des systèmes juridiques et judiciaires concernés, une connaissance de
la terminologie juridique et judiciaire et des conventions de genre de la langue cible, et qui peuvent
produire des textes authentiques. Les documents juridiques et judiciaires constituent la base de
nombreuses démarches personnelles et professionnelles. La traduction juridique et judiciaire est un
type de service de traduction hautement spécialisé qui est fréquemment utilisé dans le cadre officiel et
juridique. Cela exige de répondre aux critères de qualité professionnelle les plus élevés. Compte tenu de
ce qui précède ainsi que du fait qu’il n’existe pas de normes internationales dans ce domaine, le présent
document a été élaboré en réponse à un besoin manifeste du marché.
Le présent document est destiné à être mis en œuvre par des traducteurs indépendants spécialisés
dans la prestation de services de traduction juridique et judiciaire.
