| Description | This paper deals with the questions of legal language, legal translation and conceptual equivalence. It shortly comments on the problematic points arising when translating a legal text from Czech into English and vice versa. Furthermore, it tries to specify basic requirements a truly competent legal translator should fulfil. To step away from the dry theory, a reference is made to an experiment, focusing solely on the translation of contracts. |
