Bilingual Legal Terminology Dictionary – Diccionario de Terminología Jurídica Bilingüe

By Rolando Ernesto Tellez
Undoubtedly, language shapes human behavior and history. Latin and English have been the most common languages used by many peoples in our civilization. Thus, these two main languages have influenced legal systems all over the world.
As a linguist and translator, I have spent many years writing the first bilingual legal dictionary in Nicaragua, and probably in Central America. This dictionary is a useful reference in Spanish and English to lawyers, investors, managers, translators, diplomats, students, etc. working in a globalized world. The Work contains over 44,000 legal terms and phrases in both languages.
Globalization of economic activities has brought me legal documents written in English from all over the world for 26 years. These documents have come from Russia, China, Europe, Taiwan, USA, Australia, etc. Obviously, there are differences in meanings in the different legal systems. Yet, globalization forces us to seek the best and most appropriate terms and phrases to perfect legal instruments.
By the same token, specialized dictionaries written in Spain do not contain some of the terms used in Latin America. These dictionaries usually do not take into consideration the influence of legal terms used by Hispanics in New Mexico, Florida, California, New York, etc. Latin American Spanish borrows many terms used in US Hispanic communities. Language is also a dynamic process in regard to legal matters and the business world. My dictionary is a contribution to improve international communication, including some financial, economic, accounting, banking, and business terms relating to law.
Finally, today’s lingua franca among the different regions of the world is English. This language will still be used in two or three centuries, even if we are not capable of surviving climate change or an asteroid hits the earth, the English language will still be used in future space stations, lunar or Martian colonies, etc.
