Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
You are translating a legal contract from Spanish into English. The source text uses 'responsabilidad solidaria,' a concept deeply embedded in civil-law legal systems. The target client operates under common-law jurisdiction. Which approach best reflects professional translation standards for this type of term? A) Translate it literally as 'solidary liability' and add a brief translator's note explaining the civil-law concept. B) Replace it with 'joint and several liability,' the closest functional equivalent in common-law jurisdictions, without comment. C) Leave the term in Spanish and define it in a parenthetical on first occurrence. D) Consult the client and ask them to have a lawyer decide the equivalent before you proceed.
