Work with Maria Diomidous Rotsidis !

Firstly, I will establish clear and open communication with the client in order to ensure the correct legal meaning is conveyed. This proves especially important in case I notice any inconsistencies or concepts which are defined differently in the Greek, Cypriot or English legal systems which may lead to ambiguity. Due to my legal background and expertise I am able to use the correct terminology in cases where a direct technical translation would be lacking and potentially incorrect.
Next, I will translate the required text within the required timelines as agreed with the client.
Lastly I make sure to always proofread the draft translation in order to correct any potential typos or errors and ensure that the final text is accurate but also captures the spirit of the original.

Ensuring terminology is consistent can literally ‘make or break’ a translation and especially a legal translation in which accuracy is paramount. Managing this sometimes involves clarifying aspects of the original text with the client - as at times I have noticed different terminology being used used to describe the same concept. This is something which is better to avoid. Therefore I will firstly clarify with the client which is the correct terminology to be used in the original language. Once that is clear then I can refer to legal texts such as legislation, court decisions, official regulator/competent authority websites in order to confirm that the translated term I will use is indeed accurate, meaning that it corresponds to the same legal relationship in both countries. Sometimes when translating large documents, I will create a small glossary of the key terms in both languages.
