Good day! I am currently writing my dissertation for my bachelor begree in translation and interpretation studies, and I am at a loss on where to find some specific resources about the translation of legal codes. namely, I need to translate in english a few articles from the italian code of criminal law. are there any websites/books about the appropriate method/style to translate this kind of content? does a translation of the italian code of criminal law already exist? I was only able to find the translation of the code of criminal procedure.

thanks to all that will take their time to answer! ▲ Collapse

Here is a very good resource that could help you understand how to deal with legal texts in translation:

Alcarez, E. and B. Hughes (2014), Legal Translation Explained, London and New York, Routledge

I'm afraid I can't help you with any Italian-specific translation though.

Good luck!
