Abstract This article aims to understand the nature of legal translation and points out the causes of complexity in the translation of legal maxims. Lack of equivalents in the target text, cognate transfer, wrong translation, word-to-word translation, artificiality, lack of creativity, lack of accuracy, syntactic divergence, lexical divergence, etc., are the common issues in legal translation. Translators often face complications in maintaining equivalence across languages while ensuring the integrity of the translation. This paper delves into the challenges of legal translation, emphasizing linguistic precision and analyzing the translation of legal maxims from English to Hindi. In this paper, we have used analytical and descriptive methods in which the 100 legal maxims have been collected in the source language( English) as well as their equivalents in the target language (Hindi) with the help of Google and other websites. A comparative semantic analysis has been done, and thus a semantic gap between them has been observed.
