Bulgaria strives for better quality in legal translations
Bulgaria has been making significant efforts in recent years to introduce stricter regulations in the field of legal translation. According to Liese Katschinka, founder of the European Legal Interpreters and Translators Association (EULITA), ensuring high quality in this area is of key importance for fair justice.
The main goal of these regulations is to ensure that translators working within the judicial system possess the necessary professional skills and knowledge of legal terminology. Currently, the country is working on creating clearer rules to facilitate communication between institutions and foreign citizens.
Experts emphasize that errors in the translation of legal documents can lead to serious consequences for citizens. For this reason, the introduction of a national register of sworn translators is being discussed, which would provide transparency and control over their qualifications.
In conclusion, improving standards in legal translation is an important step for Bulgaria on the path toward a more effective judicial system. The new measures are expected to increase public trust in institutions and facilitate the work of courts with international partners.
