• Description:
  Different views on law, the existence of a variety of institutions and the fact that the legal system, similarly to language, is being constantly modified bring about problems with legal vocabulary. It is therefore crucial that the translators have proper specialist knowledge in order to be well acquainted with a given field. Legal and law texts are not only difficult to translate in technical and language terms, but they are, first of all, difficult to interpret. A correct and accurate translation of a given text requires that a translator is knowledgeable about the legal system of the target language. No legal norms can be translated into a foreign language without taking into consideration the fact that they have been prepared by and for other people living in different social and political conditions, where different cultural and legal rules are observed. To sum up, a careful study of cultural aspects is essential if a good translation of a specialist text is to be made. Thus, a professional translator not only has to master the target language but s/he also has to be familiar with the substance and culture of a given field. In case of legal language and the language of law the above is even more important since particular legal systems are significantly different and the translation has to be intelligible to a potential receiver who is not acquainted with the reality of a given country. The present article attempts at answering the question about the role of cultural aspects in translation of specialist texts as exemplified by the French legal system. The notion of“cultural elements”is defined and several examples chosen from different fields of law are analyzed to achieve the above aim.;
  Rola tłumacza polega na pośredniczeniu między odmiennymi kulturami i językami. Dobrego tłumacza winna zatem cechować kompetencja przedmiotowa (treściowa), językowa i kulturowa. W niniejszym artykule spróbujemy odpowiedzieć na pytanie, jaka jest rola aspektów kulturowych w tłumaczeniu tekstów specjalistycznych, na przykładzie francuskiego języka prawa. W tym celu postaramy się zdefiniować pojęcie „elementów kulturowych”, a następnie przeanalizujemy kilka wybranych przykładów z różnych dziedzin prawa.
