The topic of this paper is legal language and its integration into the teaching process in the training of translators working in the language combination German / Slovak; this area of didactics is relatively unexplored in Slovakia. The main aim of the study is to emphasize the importance of developing professional translation competence as part of translator training, as this competence is of significant assistance when creating content-correct translations. Based on an analysis of student translations, the article lists the most common problems encountered when translating legal texts, mainly related to the use of incorrect translation strategies.
This paper is based on the principle that not only technical communication, i.e. the subject of technical linguistics, but also the relevant research paradigms are in constant flux. The focus of research has shifted from technical language as a system to the role of the communicators as well as the situational aspects of technical communication, and in recent years this research has become integrated into epistemologically-driven discourse linguistics. This paradigm shift is demonstrated using the example of the analysis of an international treaty text.
