TranslaDocs: Liability and sworn translations Today, although it is somewhat complicated, we are taking the risk of talking about this subject. We do so because we believe it is good to make our profession and its characteristics known. In addition to in-depth training and having passed a Ministry of Foreign Affairs exam to become a sworn translator, sworn translators have civil liability. The relevance and importance of a sworn translator's work therefore depends on this liability. What exactly is civil liability? In material terms, it is the obligation of one person, whether natural or legal, to indemnify another. The reasons for this may be the failure to fulfill a contract agreed with the other party (called breach of contract), or for having caused another type of damage to the other party. To learn more about civil liability you can consult this page. What happens is that it is often subject to interpretation. A case of civil liability can be, for example, when someone contracts a service and it is not provided. In that case it would be clear. However, someone may sue a doctor for not having performed his work in a responsible manner, while the doctor maintains that he has done so because he has followed his protocol. In such a case it would be more difficult to determine who is right. Liability. Image from Pixabay. Responsibility. Image by Pixabay. Now, to what extent does liability affect translators? Let's take a look. Sworn translators and civil liability In the case of sworn translations, civil liability is related to the content of your translation. The content may have consequences that affect the resolution of a health procedure, the transfer of an asset, the execution of the functions granted in a power of attorney, etc. But why so much responsibility for the translator? Because when the sworn translator signs and stamps the translation, he/she assumes that the content corresponds to the original presented to him/her. Signing. Image from Pixabay. Signing.

The fact that he/she has sworn and signed a translated document does not imply that he/she vouches for the authenticity or veracity of the original. This is a matter often dealt with by notaries and other authorities. Therefore, the responsibility for a sworn translation boils down to what is certified: that the translation is accurate and complete. This translates ─never better said─ in that all the necessary information contained in the original is conveyed.
