Therefore, in the process of promoting China-Vietnam political and economic cooperation, the urgent need to improve legal translation level, and strengthen the systematic research of Chinese- Vietnamese judicial translation.By taking the translation of criminal indictment and verdict as an example,the paper focuses on the linguistic features, translation principles and strategies of Chinese-Vietnamese translation of judicial documents. This report can be divided into four parts. In the first part, the paper explains the concepts and basic theories.

In the third part, some translation principles that should be followed in translating judicial documents are introduced with some examples chosen from the project. In the fourth part, some practical translation strategies and methods of translating judicial documents are put forward with the translation experience of the author. On this basis, the paper expects to provide a useful reference and translation guide for translators who are engaged in Chinese-Vietnamese translation of judicial documents.
