The Legal And Un Language

-according to A United Nations Priority, “today it has been translated into nearly 250 national and local languages, is the best known and most cited human right document in the world.”

At a glance, one may assume that individuals do not play a significant role in international law. International law may seem too broad to encompass individuals in any society. This is because that international law has no jurisdiction. It applies regardless of the local jurisdiction sometimes even overriding local legislation. Courts may use international law to pass judgement on tricky cases. However, individuals play a significant role in international law. International law focuses mainly on the individual. It ensures that individuals get justice mostly in situations when the national

In this B.A. dissertation, we carried out a research and a critical analysis of the challenges the translator has to face when translating initialisms, neologisms and false friends. For such end, we opted for translating an extract of an academic paper titled “The Betrayal of Human Rights and the Urgency of Universal Corporate Accountability: Reflections on a Post-Kiobel Lawscape”, which was written by Anna Grear in collaboration with Burns Weston, and which was published in the academic magazine Human Rights Law Review (Oxford University Press).

Most of the translating took place in Baghdad, which was known as the ‘City of Learning’ (239). At the time of the translation movement, Baghdad was a new city that drew in people from all over the world in hope to make their fortunes in the empire. With all the diversity of people coming to Bagdad, a lot of money came as well (241). The money that the immigrants brought, served as an essential component to the translation movement, because this meant that the empire

To start with, we may not live in England, but the language we speak is supposed to be English. So, one would think that a person would have no problem speaking this language at the workplace unless the job calls for a different language, This is not so. Countless people have challenged this policy of several different companies and this is what I will be discussing, in English. First, most of the workers speak English, maybe not as a primary language, but speak it to the best of their ability. This policy, to speak only English at the workplace, was completely and totally law-abiding since all the employees spoke English. Now, the employer did not say they could not speak Spanish during their break times. Only that

Throughout the years, we, translators, have been providing the mankind a service for them to communicate with each other. However, with the recent technologic advances, the necessity of translators have started to diminish little by little. Today in our mundane lives people use online translation websites powered by machine translation (MT) to ease their lives. Even so there are a lot of different views, which are mostly negative, about MT and its efficacy and future, as long as the technology advances, the function of MT will be enough to dominate the global market and this will be regarded as disqualification of translators. “Google translates more words in 1 minute than all human translators in one year!” and this statement won’t change

Newmark (1988) considered translation as a matter of choice. His idea is that translators should have the skill which enables them to decide upon the most appropriate equivalence. Translator’s choice depends on certain criteria in accordance with a specific theory. Regarding this matter, one of these problems was about how to achieve equivalence or the equivalent effect of the political terms or expressions. Wrong choice giving the inadequate or inaccurate translation.

Some linguists claim that dealing with the process of finding equivalence is the most significant issue existing among translation processes and that is one of the mains principles of Western theory of translation. Translation is a mean of communication and in order for it to be effective it is crucial to establish appropriate equivalence between source and target text. Nida defines translation as “reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style”. (Nida, 1982, p. 12) It is conspicuous that equivalence is one of basic concepts of translation which cannot be overlooked. This complex phenomenon often becomes a measure which helps to define the process of translation. Number of researches stress on the important role of the equivalence for the translation process and it is hard to hard to overestimate the role of equivalence in translation. Use of equivalence translation help people to understand each other and enables achieving communication goals. Achieving maximum linguistic, grammar and structural equivalence is inevitably linked with certain restrictions and limitations but the skilful use of equivalents can undoubtedly benefit the results of translation act. Despite different approaches, the equivalence is an important

disposal from one language to another. This essay I will talk about my experience in translating, between two persons, one of them speak Arabic and another speak English. Also, I will talk about weakness and strength encountered in during translation.

It is worth noting that Arabic has over the years reduced into just a language, which is used to write literature about religion and other formal speeches. It is no longer any community’s native language. In fact, it is now viewed as a collection of dialects, which refer to separate languages. In essence, the Arabic that is spoken in Morocco is totally different from what is used in Egypt. Therefore, writing in Arabic requires a mastery of language and how it is used in various regions of the world. Looking at it, writing in Arabic is one of the best decisions that I ever made in life as it presents me with the opportunity to understand the different dialects that make up the language and its continued evolution.In fact, the Arabic language is one of the difficult languages in the world. It is now clear that given a chance I would pursue the same route. Further, I am convinced that as long as I am alive, nothing is impossible under the sun. I can become anything I want to be. Also, I learned that nothing impossible and

Because just a translation is done by human it does not automatically that it is of better quality. Quality comes with education and experience and even than a person cannot know everything. Seeing that humans or machines cannot translate on its own, a combination of these two is necessary to get a qualitative and professional translation. In this way, four different and distinctive methods of translation can be recognized: translation done only by machines, translations done by machine translators which are later revised and edited by human translators, translations done by humans with the assistance of a machine translator and translations done by humans without the involvement of machines

There are many acts of violence committed around the world today. One common problem that arises from these issues and wars is the aftermath of sorting out who did what and where to discuss this information. Pierre Leval, who is a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, wrote the article, “The Long Arm of International Law” (2011). Leval was born in New York and received his bachelor’s degree in 1959 from Harvard (2011). Shortly after, in 1963, he earned his first professional doctorate degree as a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School(2011). After his nomination by President Bill Clinton in 1993, Leval joined the court (2011). Prior to this, he served on the Southern District of New York, joining in 1997 after appointment from President Jimmy Carter (2011). On August 16, 2002, Leval assumed senior status (2011).

No specific law has passed that relates distinctly to publication but there are areas within law that touch upon the notion of publication. This subject mainly revolves around the law of copyright. This is legal protection within publication of books, magazines, journals etc. Copyright disallows publication of work that is copyrighted. There are exceptions to copyright where the owner of copyright can grant the right to do something with work to another person, which would normally be an infringement of copyright if not permitted. Publishing agreements must be in writing, an absence of this document can nullify a publishing agreement. The Publishing agreement also requires for an author to pay fees.

There are two critical elements you must know when translation a document and they cannot be stated too many times:

“Translators have to prove to themselves as to others that they are in control of what they do, that they do not just translate well because they have a “flair” for translation, but rather because, like other professional, they have made a conscious effort to understand various aspects of their work.”
