| Summary: | This introduction presents an overview of the special issue of Revista Llengua i Dret / Journal of Language and Law on legal translation and interpreting (TI) in the technologized world. Although legal translation technologies are widely available and accepted in many specialized domains, their use in legal contexts has historically been limited by financial, institutional, and textual resources. The lack of availability hampers the development of high-quality technological applications that can support TI professionals working in legal settings. The contributions to this special issue address the availability and use of resources from different perspectives. Several articles investigate the development of NMT systems by leveraging high-quality resources from under-resourced or related languages, while others assess MT systems as potential resources for translation productivity and quality. Contributions also examine the allocation of institutional resources to train translators and interpreters for work in legal settings. |
