For an Equivalent Approach to the Translation of Legal Terms in Islamic Law
Journal Title: In Translation / في الترجمة - Year 2022, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article, we have discussed Arabic legal terminology with religious value. The latter are the terms of Islamic law on which the Algerian family code is based. They group together the rules determining family relations in Algeria. According to a multilingual equivalence approach, we found that the equivalents proposed in French and Spanish for the same terms of the Arabic language of Islamic law do not highlight the same communicative and functional value. By analyzing this value, we have tried to find out whether the decisions taken by the translators are imposed by linguistic, discursive or cultural context. This description highlights the serious translation problems posed by Islamic law terms and the reasons for these constraints, which are exclusively religious and cultural.
