Legal .. Legal

Translating legal document can be a nightmare for me .. I spend hours browsing through the internet to find the correct terms. Clients have given me quite a lot of legal documents to translate so is getting easier and easier for me. I have to be friends with "legal" if I want to become a sworn translator. I am not a sworn translator yet but I will be soon, insyallah. I am currently happy being a document/text translator. 


Here is a sample of Credit Agreement that I translated from Indonesian-English for a client :
