Abstract

Abstract This article proposes a hierarchy of translator and reviser competences in prototypical scenarios in legal translation with a view to determining the most appropriate revision foci to ensure translation quality. Built on a prior characterisation of the most common professional translator profiles in legal translation, the proposal for a hierarchy of competences derives from two premises: (1) The professional profile of those who translate and revise legal documents is very diverse in terms of competence and qualifications (training and experience), and (2) translation competence and specialist knowledge in legal fields (i.e., domain competence) are fundamental when revising to guarantee the quality of legal translations. The proposal is framed by quality assurance in legal translation through a revision process based on (1) the coherent management of the work of the translators and revisers involved in the translation project, and (2) the appropriate methodology for revision applied to legal translation by adapting the revision mode’s focus to ensure its effectiveness. Six common scenarios are identified in light of the translators’ profiles, for which revisers’ profiles are then proposed in order to detect any legal translation competence deficiencies among translators, and thus ensure quality.

法律翻译中译者和审校人员的能力

摘要本文提出了在法律翻译的典型场景中译者和审定者的能力层次，以确定最合适的审定重点，保证翻译质量。基于先前对法律翻译中最常见的专业翻译人员概况的描述，提出能力等级的建议源于两个前提:(1)翻译和修改法律文件的人员在能力和资格(培训和经验)方面的专业概况非常多样化;(2)翻译能力和法律领域的专业知识(即领域能力)是修改法律文件的基础，以保证法律翻译的质量。本文从法律翻译质量保证的角度出发，提出了一套修订程序，其基础是:(1)对参与翻译项目的译者和审校人员的工作进行连贯的管理;(2)通过调整修订模式的重点，将适当的修订方法应用于法律翻译，以确保其有效性。根据翻译人员的情况，确定了六种常见的情况，然后提出了审校人员的情况，以便发现翻译人员在法律翻译能力方面的不足，从而确保质量。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
