Abstract

Abstract: With the strengthening of cultural exchanges between China and the west, many English legal terms are translated into Chinese. In the process of translation, the same English legal term may exist in different forms in the mainland and Hong Kong. In view of this phenomenon, we attempt to classify these different forms from the perspective of word processing, and then unify and standardize them based on “term price”.

Key words: legal terms, translation differences, term price, standardization
