After successfully completing this module, students will be able to translate specialised legal texts appropriately and justify their translation decisions on the basis of theory. They will develop the ability to use the appropriate research tools and translation technologies. They acquire the necessary translation strategy and evaluation skills for a high-quality translation as well as the metacommunicative skills for successful communication with clients.Contents:
