Common Proofreading Mistakes in Legal Document Translation
Proofreading any sort of new text is important, but especially so when the text is in the form of legal documents. Proofreading mistakes in legal document translation could be potentially disastrous as the language used is often very precise. Mark Twain, the well known American author and reporter, once said that God made idiots first then proofreaders next. One could say that Twain did not view many proofreaders in high regard. He thought that few proofreaders were sufficiently skilled not to make any mistakes at all, mainly as in his view proofreaders tended to see what they wanted to see in a piece of text rather than actually what was there.
In fact, there are many ways that common mistakes in legal document translation can be avoided. Here are some steps that can be taken which should minimise these sorts of mistakes.
