SPECIFICITY OF WRITTEN TRANSLATION OF RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE LEGAL ACTS INTO ENGLISH (BASED ON OF THE ACT OF THE KHANTY-MANSIYSK AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT ON PROVIDING FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE TO CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF CITIZENS)

Abstract

The work presents a contrastive analysis of the specifics of the written translation of Russian-language legal acts into English. For successful research, methods such as descriptive, comparative, contextual, and continuous sampling are applied. When making a quality legal translation, one needs to know not only linguistic, but also extralinguistic features, such as differences in legal systems, the Plain English movement abroad, and legal terminology in Russian and English. The material for the study is Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra Act No. 113-oz of December 16, 2011 “On Free Legal Assistance in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra”. The work is aimed at solving problems associated with the translation of texts of regulatory legal acts, which cause particular difficulties in transmitting information in the legal sphere and in making business communication in this area.
