Spanish language translation WK-S-T-H

El estudio y, posteriormente, la aplicación práctica de los conocimientos de derecho canónico y de las ciencias jurídicas requieren el dominio de las fuentes y de los trabajos especializados en la materia. Un número considerable de comentarios, artículos y monografías, y en parte también de fuentes científicas, sobre derecho canónico se publican en español. Por tanto, es necesario dominar la terminología especializada en dicho idioma. También resulta útil saber realizar traducciones desde y hacia el español. Además, la necesidad de comunicarse y mantener correspondencia con diversas instituciones y organismos extranjeros exige el uso del español. Las clases propuestas tienen como objetivo transmitir conocimientos, habilidades y competencias relacionadas con las tareas mencionadas.

Familiarity with the relevant sources and scholarly works is required for the study and subsequent practical application of canon law and legal sciences. A significant proportion of commentaries, articles and monographs on canon law are published in Spanish, as are some scholarly sources. This makes it necessary to become familiar with the specialised terminology in Spanish. The ability to translate from and into Spanish is also useful. Furthermore, communicating and corresponding with various foreign institutions and agencies requires the use of Spanish. The proposed course aims to impart the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to perform the aforementioned tasks.
