Abstract background

DLT Legal Translation Inc.

High-quality legal translations for the legal profession
Quality

DLT Legal Translation Inc. provides legal documents of the highest quality. The translation itself reflects with 100% accuracy the content of the source text - whilst allowing the English-speaking reader to understand the content in their "English law" way.

It is essential that legal documents such as contracts, writs of summons, statements of defence, decisions, etc., be legally correct, with no room for misunderstandings or disputes due to ‘approximations’ in translation. Legal translation is not merely an exchange of words between different languages. It is an exercise in comparative law and complex, contextual drafting.

A properly done translation should be ‘invisible’, that is to say, the reader should have the impression that the text was written in the language in which it is being read.
