description Noting the difficulties of legal translation, the best functional Polish equivalents of German legal terminology used in court appearance summons are sought. Four translation strategies are described: (1) rendition through a functional equivalent, (2) the use of the original term accompanied by explanation in parentheses or footnotes, (3) a descriptive rendition of the original term, & (4) rendition through a neologism. Three scenarios of legal translation are considered: (A) different languages within the same legal system (eg, the case of Canada or Switzerland), (B) different languages & different legal systems (most cases of legal translation fall under this category), & (C) different legal systems with the same language (the German-speaking states of Europe or the English-speaking states across continents). After discussing the various possibilities of rendering German legal terms in Polish, a table suggesting the most adequate Polish equivalents is produced. 7 References.
