As a high-end service in the translation industry, legal translation mainly serves the upper social groups such as lawyers, foreign-funded enterprises, import and export companies, etc., and the quality requirements and technical difficulties are quite high. Take Chinese and English as an example, in addition to the differences between English and Chinese language and culture, there are also differences between British and American law and Chinese law. An industry insider once said with emotion: "Law translation is too difficult. It’s a slap in the face, professionals look down on it, and non-professionals don’t understand it.” In Artlangs Translation's view, the difficulty of legal translation is that it is difficult to get involved in law, language and translation at the same time, which makes the requirements for translators more stringent.

In addition, if the translator's legal knowledge level is lacking, he will encounter great difficulties in reading and understanding legal documents, and even more difficult in expressing. Therefore, a qualified legal translator must have a better understanding of law and economy. In order to adapt and be competent in legal translation work, translators need to learn legal knowledge, consult relevant reference materials, and consult lawyers in related fields. In this sense, the process of legal translation is also a legal learning process.

Finally, that is the sense of responsibility in legal translation work. You must know that legal translation is a serious job. There is no room for sloppy work. influences.
