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 acostumbrad

📝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.

Vengo de hacer una donación ante notario. En Ing

Vengo de hacer una donación ante notario.

En Inglaterra y Gales, el término "gift" en el marco de un testamento se refiere a una disposición patrimonial que surte efecto al fallecer el causante, mientras que en el derecho civil español la donación suele entenderse como un acto inter vivos, separado de la herencia y alternativo a esta.

En cambio, una gift causa mortis (o donatio mortis causa) es una figura especial en equity: una donación que se hace ante la previsión de una muerte, pero que solo se perfecciona si el donante (donor) fallece y no la revoca antes. No es parte de la herencia, pero tiene requisitos estrictos:

➡️Se debe hacer cuando se prevea que va a producirse una muerte inminente.

➡️El donante debe entregar el bien o el control sobre dicho bien (p. ej. las llaves de un coche).

➡️Se perfecciona solo si el donante fallece como se preveía.

Esta figura es más excepcional y no se debe confundir con los "gifts" en testamento.

Una donatio mortis causa (o gift causa mortis o deathbed gift) se sitúa entre una donación en vida y una disposición testamentaria. Aunque está condicionada a la muerte del donante, no forma parte de la herencia y no requiere un testamento para ser eficaz.

📘Para saber más sobre la traducción de gift, recomiendo "El testamento inglés y su traducción", de Javier Pérez Manglano.

I know that many of our clients are under pressure

I know that many of our clients are under pressure, dealing with tight deadlines and complex formalities. That’s why it means so much when they take a moment to share their appreciation.

Receiving feedback like this reminds me why I do what I do:

📢 "I really appreciate your prompt work on the translations and for getting them to me in good time for my appointment at the Spanish Embassy on Wednesday. Everything looks perfect, and it's a relief to have this step completed smoothly and efficiently.

Helping clients navigate their legal and official processes with ease is always my goal. Thank you to all who trust me with their sworn translations! 💙

The clock is ticking for investor visas in Spain ⏳!

With the abolition of investor visas from 3 April 2025, many of our clients are feeling the pressure to finalise applications and secure renewals before the deadline.

The uncertainty surrounding these changes has made the process even more stressful, especially given the strict requirements and time-sensitive nature of these applications.

➡️For new applications: If submitted before 2 April 2025, they will still be processed under the current regulations—but the investment must already be completed. Given that purchasing, selling, and registering real estate can take up to two months, waiting until the last minute is not an option.

➡️For renewals: Existing visas will remain valid until they expire, and renewals will follow the rules in place at the time of issuance. However, any issues or refusals could mean losing the opportunity to maintain investor residency in Spain.

This is a critical moment for investors navigating the transition. If you're facing challenges with your documentation, ensure your translations are in order well before the deadline.

🇪🇸One of the documents I frequently translat

🇪🇸One of the documents I frequently translate as a sworn English-Spanish Translator is letters of support for #spanishvisa applications. These letters—whether from family members, employers, universities, or sponsors—play a crucial role in demonstrating ties, financial backing, or purpose of stay.

I particularly enjoy translating these documents because they offer a glimpse into the personal and professional stories behind each application.

Whether it’s:

✈️ an applicant seeking to visit spain on a tourist Schengen visa,
👨‍👧‍👦 a parent supporting a child’s student visa,
📊 a company endorsing an employee for a work visa,
👬 a spouse confirming financial stability for a family reunification visa,

...each letter is unique yet essential in the process.

But what I love the most is seeing how applicants express their enthusiasm for Spain. Their words reflect not just a need for a visa, but a genuine connection to the country—whether it’s excitement about studying at a Spanish university, growing professionally in a new market, enjoying Spain’s quality of life, or reuniting with loved ones.

For many, this connection goes even deeper. Some applicants seek to reconnect with their Spanish heritage, whether through a non-lucrative visa, a student visa, or even the Spanish citizenship process under the Ley de Memoria Democrática.

Translating these letters resonates with me on a personal level because, having lived abroad for many years, I now appreciate my country even more. Seeing Spain through the eyes of those who wish to live, study, or work here reminds me of its rich culture, welcoming people, its colours and the countless opportunities it offers. 🌞🌴

With my sworn translations, I ensure that these letters maintain their clarity, authenticity, and legal validity for submission to Spanish authorities. If you need a sworn spanish translation for your student, work, non-lucrative, digital nomad, golden (until 3 April 2025!), or family reunification visa, I am here to help.

In 2020, a close relative of mine was, together with many others, a victim of a scam affecting thousands.

The law firm handling their case sends them newsletters updating its clients on developments in the proceedings. I had a change to take a look at the newsletter, which is issued both in Spanish and in English. It saddens me to see that the English part is machine-translated. The translations contain many errors. One example of a machine-translation fail is:

↪️ Transformación [de procedimiento abreviado] a sumario-ordinario ('upgrading' or 'shifting' from a 'abbreviated' procedure -abreviado- to a 'juicio sumario or procedimiento ordinario', used for very serious offences (delitos graves) carrying 9+-year prison sentences under Spanish criminal law).

🤖 Translation rendered by the machine: ❌ 'transformation to a summary trial' (meaning the opposite under English law). A procedimiento sumario or ordinario deals with serious offences, which would not be considered 'summary', but indictable in the English legal context. Mislabeling these proceedings as summary trials fails to capture their complexity, legal rigor, and the gravity of the offences they address. A note or explanation would have been more suitable.

If a was one of the English-speaking recipients of this newsletter, I would certainly complain that human translators are not being used for informing them on developments in a case where they have been scammed, in some cases, out of tens of thousands of Euros.
