A few years into legal translation, I thought I had it all figured out. But then I started working with complex transactional documents and realized just how much I didn’t know.
These files are out of reach for most translators. Even if you get a glimpse, understanding them is another story. The transactional logic and legal language used here aren’t things you can learn in a textbook. Even with guidance, it demands years of focused translation practice to feel confident. Real growth comes from tackling the hardest tasks firsthand.
