A law firm in Udine has filed several claims for compensation for war crimes committed against the population of Friuli Venezia Giulia during Nazi occupation. We collaborated on this important job by preparing the certified translation of the writs of summons to be served to the Federal Republic of Germany.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Thanks to a special fund made available by the Italian government in cooperation with the German government, the heirs of the victims of the massacres and deportations were able to sue Germany<\/strong> to obtain compensation for the war crimes committed by the Nazi army between 1943 and 1945 in our region. In order to serve the documents to the Republic of Germany, it was necessary to submit them in bilingual format, with the original and the German version facing each other, along with the certification of the translation<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The work comprised eight writs of summons for a total of about twenty victims and heirs to be compensated. Each deed, after a historical presentation of the facts, reconstructed through extensive research and consultation by lawyers, sets out the legal grounds supporting the claim for compensation. Long and complex documents, which place specifically legal content<\/strong> alongside the reporting of crimes and historic events<\/strong>. The deadline for submitting the documents was stringent and very tight so it was an urgent job.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The work of translating the documents, despite the tight schedules, was assigned to a single translator, who was able to translate in a uniform and consistent way<\/strong> all the texts, which had many points in common. The translation of the writs was complex both in terms of the legal aspect and the reconstruction of the facts: fortunately, war crimes are not a topic that is frequently addressed. Extensive terminology research<\/strong> both in the historical and legal fields was required, combining the translation, as always, with an attentive revision<\/strong>, which is even more important during such an urgent and delicate job. Computer-assisted translation tools<\/strong> were essential, making it possible to speed up the work and ensuring the quality<\/strong> of the translation and exact correspondence<\/strong> with the source text. The project concluded with the certification of the translated documents<\/strong> at the Court of Law.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat does the project look like?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
