When it comes to legal translation services, the translation process is more detailed, which entails stricter requirements for knowledge and experience. In some industries (e.g. medicine, engineering), the translators may need to be well-versed in the industry they are translating for.
As the name implies, legal translations involve legal procedures. If a mistake is spotted, it may lead to legal disputes. Some notable legal translations in Singapore may include applications for work pass permits, immigration documents, and workplace contracts.
