Quality Assurance in Translating National Legislation: The Case of Czech Companies and Cooperatives Act
Original language description
This paper presents a study into quality assurance applied to the translation of Czech legislation into English for documentary purposes. The qualitative methodology applied aims at exploring quality assurance on two levels: on the part of the contracting authority awarding the translation public contract and on the part of the successful bidder. In the former case, the quality assurance is explored through comparison of the tender requirements (which in fact constitute a translation brief) with those identified to be included in a legal translation brief by Scott (2015). In the latter case, a legal-translation quality assessment model by Prieto Ramos (2014) is used to analyse the quality of the English translation of the Companies and Cooperatives Act in various categories. The results of the analysis are then categorized and discussed in terms of their possible (not only) legal implications.
