TransLegal and its university partners believe that in this era of international trade and commerce the world needs a large and sophisticated online multilingual law dictionary in which the many legal languages of the world are linked in a single law dictionary to the lingua franca of international business, English. These scholars have written extensively on the shortcomings of multilingual legal dictionaries, often concluding that most of them are mere word lists of dubious quality. Launch calendar of our World Law Dictionary dictionaries:Īcademics in the field of law and linguistics have complained for decades about the shortage of good bilingual legal dictionaries pointing out that legal publishers are reluctant to spend the time or money required to produce a good legal dictionary. The English law terms which are provided as translations will be linked to TransLegal’s extensive and ever-growing database of English language materials, providing for each term sound files for pronunciation, usage notes, example sentences and language exercises and videos, thus making the World Law Dictionary a unique and powerful legal language tool. By the end of this year, the World Law Dictionary will allow users to search the legal terminology of over 20 countries. The World Law Dictionary Project is a partnership between TransLegal and leading law faculties around the world. The overall aim of the project is to create the world’s best and largest multilingual law dictionary.
