“…This approach, which is often criticized by linguists, is known as ‚the full stop rule‛ (pp: 152) [8]. The rules of standardization and equalization of legal texts can be understood as reasons for introducing neologisms and international terms into EU law that have been recommended in the Joint Practical Guide published by the European Commission for its DGT [9,10]. The translation rules of the DGT also include syntactic simplification of translations to enable an easier manipulation of legal texts in the case of amendments to legal texts in the EU legislation procedure [11].…”

We live in the age of constant changes and tremendous development of information technologies in all spheres of human activity. The field of translation is not exempted from these changes and developments. In this paper we shall explore the achievements of computer techologies in the field of machine translation. The research is conducted on the machine translations of four legal text in the field of EU legislation from German into Croatian language. The method used is a contrastive analysis of translations performed by two online translators: Google Translate and Microsoft Bing Translator. In the introductory part, specific features of the translation in the field of law are presented. In the theoretical introduction to the research, approaches to machine translations are discussed with specific reference to the editing and post-editing phases of translation procedure. Based on a number of features that represent challenges in translating legal texts, our hypothesis is that in translating legal texts these specific features have to be considered and that an intervention of a skilled human translator mastering both the linguistic and extra-linguistic knowledge is necessary, at least in a post-editing phase. In the empirical part, four different texts from the field of EU legislations are translated by using Google Translate and Microsoft Bing Translator. The translations are then contrastively analysed against the error analysis criteria developed by Costa and Popović Popović. In the final part of the paper, qualitative and quantitative analysis of findings are conducted, types of errors ocurring in both machine translations discussed, and conclusions drawn.

“…Lectures are theoretically founded on the work of Heikke Mattila and Susan Šarčević in the field of Legal English and of Katarina Reiß, Hans Vermeer, Radegundis Stolze and Erich Prunc in the field of Legal German. The basic reference for the Croatian language of the law is the book by the author of this paper titled "Legal linguistics -A Synergy of the Language and Law" (Kordić 2015). Some examples that are used as illustrations of specific linguistic phenomena are also excerpted from the author's research papers published in the last 20 years in the sphere of the three languages of law and legal translation, and from her long teaching and translation experience in English and German languages of law.…”

Expansion of IT-media in every field of human activity is one of the essential characteristics of modern time. This paper aims at presenting the role of electronic media in teaching translation in the field of law at the University of Osijek, Croatia, and analysing their impact on the motivation of the target group of students in the teaching process. The paper endeavours to provide some insight into the modern teaching practice and to analyse the interconnectedness of the use of electronic media and student motivation rather than to present some empirical research in the field. In the first part of the paper, a theoretical approach to teaching legal translation today is offered. In the main part, teaching legal translation by using modern media is presented on the examples of the Lifelong Learning Programme for Lawyer-Linguists at the Faculty of Law Osijek, and the course on legal translation within the German Language and Literature Studies at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Osijek. The usage of electronic media in translation teaching is discussed with reference to the courses Introduction to the Theory of Legal Translation and Online Translation Tools and EU Vocabulary. Specific types of online materials, translation tools and sources are discussed from the point of view of student motivation. New media are also discussed from the perspective of their efficiency at different stages of translation teaching. In the concluding part, application of modern technologies in teaching legal translation is compared with other teaching methods, approaches and techniques. Finally, the author questions using IT as motivation tools in the higher education teaching discourse and argues for application of “moderate approach” in the teaching of legal translation.
