Mains Translation Blueprint & Marking Parameters
High Court evaluators assess translation on exact contextual equivalence, fidelity to the official administrative register, and syntactic precision:
| Evaluation Parameter | High Court Expectation | Common Errors to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Terminology (पारिभाषिक शब्दावली) | Use standard judicial vocabulary (e.g., 'Petitioner' = याचिकाकर्ता, 'Affidavit' = शपथ-पत्र, 'Summons' = समन/बुलावा-पत्र). | Avoid casual colloquial translations or transliteration of standard terms. |
| Tense & Voice Preservation (काल एवं वाच्य) | Maintain original active/passive voice structure and precise temporal nuance of judicial orders and circulars. | Altering passive government orders into colloquial active statements. |
| Official Administrative Tone (प्रशासनिक शैली) | Impersonal, dignified, objective phrasing characteristic of court registries and secretariats. | Over-emotional, dramatic, or literal word-for-word translation. |
