Özet

In this study the approach displaying collaboration between law and translation, which are two separate disciplines, is adopted. In the study, in the process of translation of legal documents, on the one hand, the importance of knowledge concerning the subject, which is translated, is highlighted; on the other hand, the requisites of skills of linguistic, semantics and syntactic analysis which the student should gain is emphasized. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to introduce, the requirements of both conveying knowledge concerning law to the student of translation and her/his gaining analytical skill of translation which she/he applies into law materials. Providing for the student to gain the analytical skill of translation requires both using applications of translation into specific areas in the translation departments of Faculties at Universities and interaction between teaching staff of translation departments and those of specific areas into which are translated, in the coming years. In the study, the document of the power of attorney in Turkish language is chosen and the legal nature of the power of attorney in both Turkish and German law is explained. It is planned that this analytical model of translation designed for law can be applied into other specific fields of translation such as economics, technical, medicine, chemistry and physics.
