الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aimed at answering the following three questions: Q1- What are some of the major problems that English language undergraduate students face in translating legal texts? Q2- What are the causes of these problems? Q3- What suggestions can be helpful in solving such problems? To achieve these goals, the researcher selected a sample of 50 male and female undergraduate students in the BA Programs enrolled in Public and Private Universities.

The researcher used two instruments: a test that comprised 30 sentences of legal texts selected from contracts, agreements, rights and duties of Jordanian under the constitution, and UN resolutions.

In addition to the test, the researcher interviewed five students and five professors and asked them about the problems, causes and possible solutions that students encounter in translating legal texts to see if their views match the test results and to seek some solutions to the problems and their causes.

The results of the study showed that legal texts pose serious difficulties for undergraduate students.

The difficulties were attributed to the following factors: • Linguistic problems such as semantic, syntactic, stylistic and cultural.

• Non linguistic problems such as students' unawareness of legal texts' sensitivity and misuse of dictionaries.

Based on the findings, the study recommends the following: • Students should be aware of the importance of legal translation in the world and should translate it honestly.

• Researchers are encouraged to conduct further research using larger samples from different Jordanian and Arab Universities.
