With open-door policies for all countries in the world and in the integration process of the
globalization, there have been more and more foreign investors to Vietnam. This creates chances
for economic development. Therefore, learning English is quite essential, especially learning
terms in international business contracts. However, how to use terms is not easy for every
learner. Students must be requested to acquire a certain level of English and also knowledge in
the field. Thus, the study of the international business contract is an urgent need.
Although English is not an official language in many countries, it is the language most often
taught as a foreign or second language. Around the world, there are an estimated 1 billion people
learning English. There are many reasons why learning English has seen exponential growth in
recent years. In fact, English has become the “global language” of business, politics,
international relations, culture, and entertainment.
Moreover, translation has become a profession. More and more people have been choosing
translation as their life. It has been discovered that translation is a wonder but such a big
challenge for all the learners of foreign language. Translation of terms and conditions in English
business contract is certainly a huge challenge for beginners who want to pursue their own
translation career. A number of Vietnamese learners get trouble in translating terms and
conditions in international business contracts. The work has been not easy at all because the
learners always have to deal with non-equivalence as well as other difficulties in translating.
Hence, to be successful in the job, it is very necessary to accumulate both linguistic and cultural
knowledge in native language as well as foreign languages.
