As sworn translators, we also work with medical do

As sworn translators, we also work with medical documents of all kinds — including DNA test reports.

🧬Recently, I translated a DNA report for use in Spain in order to prove paternity for registering a civil partnership.

🧬These documents may look simple at first glance, but they often contain complex medical and technical terminology that requires precision and care. Translating genetic markers, and probability indexes is no small task — and accuracy is essential when the outcome of a procedure may depend on the wording of a single sentence.

Need a sworn Spanish translation of your DNA test results or other medical documents?

I provide official sworn translations of DNA test reports from English to Spanish, accepted by Spanish authorities for a variety of legal and administrative procedures.

Whether you need the translation for citizenship applications, immigration procedures, family reunification, registering a civil partnership and / or proving paternity, I ensure your documents meet all the formal requirements in Spain.

My translations are certified, signed, and stamped by me as a sworn translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Feeling grateful today! 🙏🏻

A client just wrote to me:

“Thank you so much. I have no doubt that we shall be using your services again over the coming years. Please don't retire!”

At a time when many are talking about AI taking over translators, it’s humbling (and honestly heartwarming) to know that human connection and expertise still matter. Not planning to retire anytime soon — there are still so many documents waiting to be translated!

Thank you to all my clients for your trust and loyalty. I don't take it for granted. You’re the reason we keep going (and not retiring)! It’s a privilege to keep supporting you year after year.

Off-topic, but not quite (see further below).

Growing up in La Palma — home to some of the clearest skies in the world — stargazing was simply part of life. 🔭

This year, with the Starmus Festival being held here, we knew we couldn't miss it. Especially with my sister being an astrophysicist, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share this experience together.

We attended lectures by Nobel Prize winners, including the unforgettable Jane Goodall, and listened to some of the world’s most brilliant minds speak about the universe, our planet, and the future of science. 👩🏻‍🚀☄️🚀

Topics ranged from artificial intelligence to the latest volcanic eruption in La Palma, showing how science shapes every aspect of our lives.

Events like Starmus remind us how importantl it is to make science accessible — not just to specialists, but to all of us who are curious about the world we live in.

Only English was used. The only issue was that AI was used for interpreting. It is great that the use of interpreting is considered for these events (in order to attract more locals) but humans would have done a far better job.

@starmus , thank you!

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is help

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping applicants navigate the process of acquiring Spanish citizenship under the Ley de Memoria Democrática. Many of the sworn translations I produce for this purpose include deeply personal and historical documents — ship manifests, immigration records, and birth certificates dating back to the early 20th century.

What makes these translations especially meaningful to me is the maritime connection. I am particularly fond of working with old ship manifests, which often list the names of vessels, ports of embarkation and arrival, occupations of passengers, and even technical details of the ships themselves.

I have always been drawn to vessel terminology. Some of our favorites include:

"Salonboy" – a young steward who attended to passengers in the ship’s saloon or dining area.

"Messboy" – a crew member who served meals and maintained the crew’s dining quarters.

"Donkyman" – the crewman in charge of operating and maintaining the donkey engine, a small auxiliary steam engine used for lifting cargo and assisting in ship operations.

If you need help with sworn translations for your Spanish citizenship application, and especially if your family history includes maritime records, I will be honored to help.

This envelope containing a sworn translation is bound for London. The translation will be used as part of legal formalities for registering divorce proceedings in Spain.

🏃🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️Thanks to new regulations on electronic signatures for sworn translations—and the growing acceptance by Spanish authorities—our trips to the post office are now few and far between!

🔏Digital sworn translations are a faster, more convenient option.

But don’t worry: if you prefer a hard copy, we’re still happy to send one your way. 🚚📪

This week, I worked from València, a city that has always fascinated me with its rich heritage and the unique charm of the Levante español. Walking along the Passeig Marítim and through its streets in Russafa and feeling its vibrant energy is always a pleasure, specially when you are feeling low.

However, being here has also made me more aware of the impact of the recent DANA that hit this wonderful region. The heavy rains left significant challenges, and there is still much to do in the recovery efforts.

Organisations like Cruz Roja Valencia and Banco de Alimentos de Valencia are doing essential work to support those in need.

Let’s support the communities that make this region so special. 💙

📝Los traductores jurídicos estamos acostumbrados a traducir, entre otros documentos procesales, informes periciales que recogen dictámenes de expertos en distintas materias peritadas. ¿Pero y si nos encargan a nosotros redactar un informe pericial?

📝En este caso, la labor del perito traductor puede ser estudiar una traducción impugnada por una de las partes a otra que la ha presentado como prueba (por ejemplo, una cláusula contractual o una reivindicación en una patente) para determinar si es correcta y fiel al original.

📚Hay muy poca formación especializada en enseñar a elaborar este tipo de informes.

➡️¿Alguna vez te han encargado redactar un informe pericial sobre una traducción?

📢A major update took place recently in sworn tr

📢A major update took place recently in sworn translation regulations. Order AUC/213/2025, of 26 February, now governs digitally-signed sworn translations, including the formatting and the content of the Sworn Translator certification.

🦠During the pandemic, the Languages Interpretation Office (‘Oficina de Interpretación de Lenguas’) of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a communication stating that it is admissible to submit documents electronically to Spanish authorities if these are signed electronically by using one of the methods set out in the relevant legislation on signature systems admitted by public administrations, but until 26 February 2025 there were no specific regulations governing the electronic signature to be used by sworn translators.

✅This new Order provides sworn translators with further guidance as to the delivery of sworn translations electronically and gives clients more certainty as to the validity and admissibility of this format by Spanish authorities and other bodies and institutions.

El trust es una de las figuras más emblemáticas

El trust es una de las figuras más emblemáticas del derecho anglosajón (common law). Se trata de un mecanismo jurídico que permite a una persona (settlor o grantor) transmitir bienes a un tercero (trustee), quien los administra en beneficio de uno o más fideicomisarios (beneficiaries).

Su importancia radica en su flexibilidad y utilidad. Y es que los trusts no solo se usan en herencias o planificaciones sucesorias. También pueden constituirse en el ámbito empresarial, como en el caso de un Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), un modelo en el que los empleados se convierten en los nuevos dueños de una empresa sin necesidad de comprar acciones.

🏢Imagina que tienes una empresa y quieres retirarte, pero sin venderla a un tercero (porque no quieres o simplemente no hay un tercero comprador) ni comprometer su esencia. Un EOT permite que los empleados se conviertan en los nuevos dueños sin que tengan que pagar de su bolsillo.

¿Cómo funciona?

✅ Se crea un fideicomiso que compra la empresa en nombre de los empleados. El dueño aparente o formal de las acciones de la empresa pasa a ser el trust. Los empleados, que pasan a ser los fideicomisarios (o beneficiaries), no adquieren acciones individuales, pero perciben bonificaciones/primas y participan en la toma de decisiones.

✅ El pago a los antiguos dueños se hace gradualmente con cargo a los beneficios futuros del negocio.

⭐Es una forma de asegurar la continuidad de la empresa, motivar a los empleados para que contribuyan al éxito del negocio y evitar adquisiciones externas.
