Here is a list of business legal translations completed to date. Most of them are translations from French to English, except the adoption decision.
Business legal translation is an area where I receive a lot of work. It was not one of my original specialities, but a skill acquired over time.
As with most translations, I create a vocabulary list in my translation database and examine any unknown terms. The Internet is of course an excellent source of information for translation. Sometimes you can find the translation in sample sentences, such as on Linguee. or perhaps the translation glossary on proz.com.
For technical words, there are some good sites, including the Canadian government’s site Le Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique and Techdico.
For more common words, I use online dictionaries such as Word Reference, and Reverso which have related discussion.
All this is useful when translating manually. GT4T using the DeepL machine translation engine is particularly useful for machine translation where the text is mainly in prose. Machine translation can also be useful for some technical content.
The last step in translation is to check grammar, spelling and linguistic style with Antidote, and I listen to vocal playbacks using Microsoft Azure Speech Engine and Trados TTS.
