Quick tutorial on German to English video translation with (or without) use of machine translation (MTPE).
The challenge in legal translation is not semantic equivalence but legal equivalence - many concepts in the German source text may or may not have equivalents in the readers' various target locales (English isn't just used for common law, after all). 
I opt for explication where appropriate and apply principles for good legal writing for English texts.
I'm using SmartCat, which is a good free CAT tool with the most important functions and free support.
