It is important to bear in mind that, ultimately, the success of a multilingual contract often has more to do with the quality of the original draft than the skill of the legal translator that translates it. In as much, Green Crescent has included the following tips to make your multilingual legal documents optimal.
Avoid verbal flourishes and unnecessary legalese. Instead, write simply and clearly. Documents whose source language is cryptic and verbose may not be easily comprehended once translated. Clearly spell out the controlling law and jurisdiction and the terms of dispute resolution, if desired. It is also recommended to specify the currency.
Where multi-language agreements are necessary, declare one language the official language by inserting a clause such as the following:
In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the different language versions of this agreement, the English version shall be considered the original, official, authoritative version and shall prevail. English shall also be considered the original, official, authoritative language for any changes to this agreement or subsequent agreements. All non-English versions of this agreement are not legally binding and shall be used for informational purposes only.
