Veronika Wagner | A lawyer translator with a freelance past and future, in between I have gathered extensive experience in a leading Hungarian LSP as an in-house translator, then business partner manager. Last year I conducted a survey on the quality of legal translations (from the perspective of lawyer translators/linguistic reviewers/lawyer buyers of legal translations/LSP project managers) and I hope you will be interested in my findings. My mission as a legal translator is to promote clear and understandable legal drafting, making things only as complicated as they are. |
