Aim. One of the most important tasks which precedes the setting of goals for teaching a foreign language of a specialty and the selection of methods for achieving them is to identify the competencies that a qualified specialist must master. Therefore, the authors of this article see the need to set the following research tasks: the identification of professional competencies in the professional discourse of international affairs; the allocation of competencies among those that require the knowledge of a foreign language; and determination of the language material necessary for studying the specialty in the language lessons for international affairs. Methods. The empirical methods of our research comprise studying and analysis of the works of Russian and foreign scientists and teachers working in the related fields; and interviewing specialists in the international sphere who have graduated from the faculties and institutes of international relations, international law, world politics and economics in the form of an anonymous questionnaire. Theoretical methods include analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalisation, deduction, and induction. Results. A study based on the analysis of a survey completed by international specialists showed that a large number of professionals in the field of international relations, international law, politics, and economics use legal terminology in their work more often than others. Among the professional skills that are required in their work, the respondents named negotiation, business dialogue, and correspondence. Conclusion. A recent study has shown that disciplines such as international law must be included in the language training program for international specialists as diplomates and lawyers.

This paper focuses on the problem of cultural differences with respect to legal terms translation concerning the extradition procedure between Germany and Poland. In this context, the question as to how to tailor German legal terminology referring to institutional and office names to that of the Polish language in order to make the text comprehensible and understandable for Polish readers, e.g., judges, prosecutors or legal representatives, will be considered from a cultural perspective. The study is illustrated by examples from a German prosecutor’s letters to the Polish District Court regarding extradition arrangement.

The presentation refers to the entire area of translating legal terminology, in particular to the translation of EU law-related texts that are especially vital for translating the acquis communautaire. This area of translation (and interpreting) services has been developing rapidly. The language used in documents is specialist and, at the same time, specific, due to the terminology used. Both the translator and the interpreter face the responsibility and the obligation to observe and apply translation strategies, consistently selected and considering the already existing and valid names, terms, concepts, definitions etc., by means of such available sources of information as dictionaries, encyclopedias, lexicons or special glossaries. Problems that translators and interpreters may encounter focus, to a large extent, on (un)translatability of certain terms, ambiguity of EU-speak or textual coherence, or the absence of it, which results from unclear, vague or ambiguous style of the original. On the other hand, the challenge for the translator/interpreter is constant care of the quality of the text created in Polish, which substantially affects the standard level and quality of Polish that we use everyday. Quality is the concept in translation and interpreting closely related with successful performance and communication (with all its aspects). The attempt at quality description in this context, apart from subjective impressions resulting from our understanding of the importance of features that good - competent - translation and effective communication should have, cannot be devoid of focusing on three principal factors, i.e., the translator/interpreter (as the text author/producer), translation/interpreting process and product, which is the result of this process and, finally, involvement (and competence) on the part of the translator/interpreter. All the above aspects pose a real challenge for the translator/interpreter focusing on legal terminology.Selected aspects of the aforementioned issues shall be verified in a case study conducted on trainee interpreters.

The article offers a practical approach to the skills a present-day translator needs in order to create high-quality translations. Although a lot of theories can be found regarding the skills of a translator, it is worth checking the reality, which is the primary aim of this article. After a short introduction about the standard skills, we look into the subtitling of an episode from a TV series. Our presupposition is that a subtitler has to combine all sorts of information from different fields effectively in order to maintain quality, including general and specific knowledge of the subject matter. Furthermore, the particular environment of subtitling may contain certain pitfalls, such as the technical know-how. layout, and constraints deriving from the nature of subtitling. We can draw the conclusion that a well-prepared translator can successfully handle the technical challenges of multimedia translation of whatsoever type.

Przedstawiona w artykule analiza wyrażeń z kwalifikatorem praw. we współczesnych słownikach języka polskiego służy próbie rozwiązania problemów określenia miejsca słownictwa specjalistycznego oraz sposobów jego kwalifikowania w leksykonach ogólnych. W zgodzie z postulatem meteksykografii, by w słowniku jednojęzycznym znalazły się terminy specjalistyczne używane również przez niespecjalistów, autorki proponują, by w słownikach ogólnych umieszczać te wyrażenia związane z prawem, 1) które są używane również w tekstach innych niż prawne czy prawnicze (np. publicystycznych) i – jeśli są homonimiczne z wyrażeniami należącymi do języka ogólnego – 2) których znaczenie w standardowej polszczyźnie jest różne niż prawne/prawnicze. Rozstrzygnięcia te, jak się wydaje, mogą być relewantne także dla kwalifikowania wyrażeń z innych dziedzin.

The aim of the presented analysis of words and phrases with the label "praw." (‘legal’) in contemporary dictionaries of Polish language is an attempt to solve some problems of determining the place of specialist vocabulary and its qualifying in general dictionaries. The authors agree with the metalexicographical postulate that a monolingual dictionary should also note terms used by non-specialists. In their opinion there should be noted the words and phrases connected with law that 1) are also used in not-legal texts (e.g. journalistic writing) and 2) if they are homonymous with not-legal phrases their meaning in standard Polish is different from legal terms. These conclusions seem also to be important for qualifying specialist vocabulary from other fields.

Język prawny w Austrii różni się od języka prawnego Niemiec, chociaż niemiecki jest językiem urzędowym w obu państwach. Od momentu wstąpienia Austrii do Unii Europejskiej (1995) w Austrii obowiązują przepisy prawa unijnego, sporządzanego w jednej tylko niemieckiej wersji językowej. Austria przyjęła zatem unijny porządek prawny, którego niemiecka wersja językowa uwzględniała przede wszystkim język prawny Niemiec[1]. W świetle powyższego pojawia się pytanie, jaki wpływ na język prawny w Austrii ma członkostwo tego państwa w UE. Należy zbadać, czy odrębności języka prawnego są uznane i chronione, czy też przeciwnie, harmonizacja prawa prowadzi także do harmonizacji języka prawnego. Analiza wybranych przykładów aktów prawa austriackiego i europejskiego służy próbie znalezienia odpowiedzi na postawione pytania. Niezwykle ważne z perspektywy nierodzimego użytkownika języka niemieckiego jest określenie, czy specyficzne terminy austriackiego języka prawniczego zostały uwzględnione i odpowiednio oznaczone w słownikach - w tym celu przebadano specjalistyczne słowniki polsko-niemieckie. [1] Język niemiecki jest również językiem urzędowym dwóch  innych państw założycielskich Europejskiej Wspólnoty Gospodarczej, a mianowicie Luksemburga i Belgii, gdzie występuje jako jeden z języków urzędowych.

The article presents differences between legal language in Austria and in Germany[1]. Although German is the official language in both countries, their legal language differs significantly, especially in terms of legal terminology. Since the accession of Austria to European Union (1995) the provisions of EU law, drawn up in only one German version, were introduced in Austria. Austria therefore adopted EU legal order, the German version of which complied mainly with the legal language used in Germany[2]. In light of the above, a question of the impact of EU membership of Austria on the legal language in that country arises. It is necessary to examine whether the Austrian legal language differences are recognized and protected, or, on the contrary, the harmonization of law leads also to an unification of legal language. The conducted analysis of selected examples of Austrian, German and European legislation is an attempt to find answers to the aformentioned questions. From the perspective of non-native German speakers it is crucial to determine whether the specific terms of the Austrian legal language have been considered and appropriately marked in dictionaries;. for this purpose, the author has examined the inclusion of specific Austrian legal terms in Polish-German legal dictionaries. [1] The shorter, Polish version of the hereby article, entitled: “Tak samo czy inaczej? – terminologia języka prawnego w Niemczech i Austrii” had been published in: “Monitor Prawniczy 7/2014. Dodatek specjalny. I konferencja absolwentów szkół prawa niemieckiego Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego i Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego – materiały z konferencji”. [2] German language has the status of an official language in two other founding Member States of the European Economic Community – namely in Luxembug and Belgium.

Dieser Artikel stellt die Unterschiede zwischen der Rechtssprache in Österreich und Deutschland dar[1]. Obwohl die Amtssprache in Deutschland und Osterreich Deutsch ist, unterscheidet sich die Rechtssprache beider Länder, vor allem im Bereich der Terminologie. Seit dem Beitritt Österreichs zur EU (1995) gelten auch in Österreich die europäischen Rechtsakte, die in einer und nur einer deutschen Fassung veröffentlicht werden. Mit dem Beitritt akzeptierte Österreich die gemeinschaftliche Rechtsordnung, deren Rechtssprache in der deutschen Version bislang vor allem mit der bundesdeutschen[2] Rechtssprache in Einklang zu bringen war. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage, welche Wirkung die Mitgliedschaft in der EU auf die österreichische Rechtssprache hat. Zu prüfen ist dabei, ob nationale Besonderheiten anerkannt und geschützt werden oder ob die Harmonisierung des Rechts auch zur Harmonisierung der Sprache führt. Eine Analyse ausgewählter Beispiele österreichischer und europäischer Rechtsakte dient dem Versuch, die aufgeworfenen Fragen zu beantworten. Aus der Perspektive eines ausländischen Anwenders der deutschen Sprache ist insbesondere von Bedeutung, ob die spezifisch österreichischen Rechtsbegriffe in Wörterbüchern zu finden und zu erkennen sind – diesem Ziel dient eine Prüfung repräsentativer polnisch-deutscher Fachwörterbücher. [1] Die gekürzte, polnische Version dieses Artikels wurde unter dem Titel: „Tak samo czy inaczej? – terminologia języka prawnego w Niemczech i Austrii“, in: „Monitor Prawniczy 7/2014. Dodatek specjalny. I konferencja absolwentów szkół prawa niemieckiego Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego i Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego – materiały z konferencji“ veröffentlicht. [2] Deutsch ist auch eine der Amtssprachen von zwei weiteren Gründungsmitgliedern der Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (Luxemburg und Belgien).

Po wejściu w życie nowej konstytucji węgierskiej wzrosła potrzeba stworzenia nowych terminów prawnych, a co za tym idzie, konieczność stworzenia terminologii wielojęzycznej dostosowanej do nowej terminologii węgierskiej. Prawodawstwo niesie za sobą wymaganie stałości terminologicznej w celu utrzymania ciągłości prawa, oraz wymaganie komunikatywności tworzonego tekstu. Artykuł stanowi studium porównawcze trzech terminów. Przeprowadzona analiza ma charakter interdyscyplinarny, łącząc prawo z translatologią, wskazuje na potrzebę uporządkowania krajowego systemu terminologii języka prawa, a ponadto, do jednego z istotnych celów należy umożliwienie oceny węgierskiej konstytucji przez środowisko zagraniczne.

Throughout the process of legislation many terminological questions have been raised that lawyers – as professionals of the given field – are trying to arrange themselves within the framework of law in a comprehensible way. Difficulties that appear during the clarification and interpretation of notions marked by legal terms might and should be handled via the principles and notions of terminology. In case terminology is used in an incorrect or inaccurate way in a legislative process, professional communication and legal certainty gets violated within the given state. As a result of current scientific and technological development, knowledge acquired in particular areas of expertise is continually expanding, the transmission of this cognition is becoming quicker and quicker, there is an ever-growing cooperation between distinct fields of expertise and the usage of ICT tools is getting more and more active. In the light of the above, this study has a double goal. One of them is to present the possible correlations in terminology and legislation (section II.), the other one is to point out that information technologies are also used as tools of terminology in the form of databases, softwares (section III). The proper management of notions marked by legal terms, achieved by the spreading of terminological knowledge and a wider use of terminological tools, may have a positive effect on the process of legislation and would lead to a better linguistic quality of laws and statutes to be prepared in the future.

La réflexion proposée dans cette étude est inspirée par trois questions. Après un bref rappel de la naissance de la nouvelle Loi Fondamentale, nous nous proposons dans la deuxième section de présenter la nécessité d’une base de données terminologique juridique nationale. Dans un cas comme dans l’autre, le terminologue par la base de données terminologique se retrouve en première ligne pour fournir, harmoniser et normaliser les termes juridiques sans lesquels il n’y a pas de communication nationale efficace, en répondant en même temps, à des critères absolus de fiabilité, pertinence, exhaustivité, et sûreté d’utilisation. L’objectif général de plus est de mettre en comparaison la convergence et la divergence éventuelle du sens entre les emprunts et les mots d’origine aussi bien que la construction des définitions dans les deux langues en mettant l’accent sur l’interdépendance de la terminologie harmonisée multilingue. Dans l’optique de la traduction, cette comparaison montre l’absence d’homogénéité et la difficulté de transmission des sens juridiques parmi les deux versions, mais aussi à l’intérieur d’original.   Dans la troisième section, nous visons étudier les divers étapes du travail terminologique dans le domaine de droit constitutionel pour mieux comprendre ce que comporte une activité complexe comme celle de l’harmonisation terminologique. Dans les conclusions, nous revenons sur la banque de données terminologique juridique en mettant en valeur son utilité et ses implications pour d’éventuels projets futurs.
