FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.225-14 Inconsistency between English Version and Translation of Contract.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This clause states that if there is any conflict between the English version of the contract and a translation into another language, the English meaning governs. It matters because it tells contractors which language version takes precedence in case of disagreement.

Applies to: Contracts that include this clause and have been translated into another language
