LegTerm: project for a multilingual database of legal terms in national law
Designing a bilingual or multilingual lexicographic tool that captures the equivalences between legal terms in different national laws and helps translators understand the intended meaning poses a complex challenge. Legal terminology is characterized by non-corresponding concepts, term polysemy, and imprecise meanings. Existing tools either focus on content for legal professionals or provide simple word-form equivalences for translators. The LegTerm project aims to bridge this gap by offering a simple and efficient terminological tool that combines the advantages of a dictionary and an encyclopedia, catering to different legal systems and languages. The article presents an overview of LegTerm, discusses terminological conventions and the relationships between concepts and terms in legal language, and describes the adopted solution. The conclusions, current project status, and prospects are also outlined.
