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.

I am happy to share the latest reviews from clien

I am happy to share the latest reviews from clients who trusted me with their sworn Spanish translations. From legal documents to academic credentials and beyond, their kind words reaffirm why I love what I do.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional, interactive. We agreed via email on the price and date of receipt of the translation. However, it took me a few days to send all the documents in the expected form and quality, so I thought that the translation would be delayed, but Virginia did it on the agreed-upon date.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I requested Virginia 2 diploma and transcript translations. She had competitive prices, documents were ready on less than 2 days and I am very happy with the quality of the translation and presentation. Highly recommend.

These testimonials motivate me to continue delivering reliable and high-quality translations tailored to your needs.

Today marks my 5th year as a proud British citizen

Today marks my 5th year as a proud British citizen. Five years ago I attended the ceremony at Lambeth Town Hall. Certainly a major milestone in my life. Forever thankful to a nation that has given me so much. 🇬🇧🙏🏼

As a sworn English-Spanish translator, I help other Spanish citizens becoming British citizens to maintain their Spanish nationality by translating their certificates of naturalisation.

I am also glad to help British citizens applying for Spanish visas by translating their application documents.

If your UK LLP is conducting business in Spain, sworn Spanish translations of key documents are often required by Spanish authorities. These include:

📄 Certificates from Companies House (certificates of incorporation, certificates of good standing)

📄 Partnership agreements

📄 Annual accounts

📄 Powers of attorney

📄 Partnership Tax Returns

These certified Spanish translations are essential for establishing the legal presence of your LLP, opening a bank account, or complying with legal and tax requirements in Spain. I ensure your documents are accurately translated and fully compliant.

I am an English-Spanish sworn translator appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have 20 years of experience, specialising in Legal-Financial Translation and holding a Graduate Diploma in Law and Level 6 Certificate in Company Law.

Digitally-signed sworn translations available, accepted and recognised by Spanish authorities and companies' registries. Save time and postal fees.

No suelo hacer revisiones, pero de vez en cuando me encargan revisar la traducción de un testamento. Uno de los errores más comunes sucede en la traducción del verbo "take". Por ejemplo:

➡️'I direct that my daughter, Emma Carter, shall take my personal library, including all books, manuscripts, and journals, upon my passing, to be enjoyed by her absolutely.'

⬅️"Dispongo que mi hija, Emma Carter, ❌tome (✅herede/reciba) mi biblioteca personal, incluidos todos los libros, manuscritos y diarios, tras mi fallecimiento, para que disfrute de ellos incondicionalmente".

La figura del fideicomiso o trust en el derecho an

La figura del fideicomiso o trust en el derecho anglosajón surgió de la confianza (en latín, fides) que una persona (el fideicomitente o settlor) depositaba en otra (el administrador fiduciario o trustee) para que administrara y gestionara ciertos bienes en beneficio de un tercero (el beneficiary o fideicomisario).

Sin embargo, en un contexto jurídico, traducir "breach of trust" como abuso de confianza (como proponen muchos diccionarios) no es adecuado por varias razones, ya que el término tiene un significado específico que va más allá de un mero quebrantamiento de confianza en el sentido común y traducirlo de ese modo diluye ese significado técnico.

Las relaciones fiduciarias están reconocidas en diferentes contextos (por ejemplo, en el societario, entre los administradores y la sociedad/los socios), pero cuando hablamos de "breach of trust" nos referimos al incumplimiento de las obligaciones fiduciarias contraídas por el administrador fiduciario (trustee) en la administración del trust (fideicomiso). Estas obligaciones vienen impuestas por la ley (en el Reino Unido, la Trustee Act 2000, entre otras) o por las disposiciones del trust y su incumplimiento puede conllevar consecuencias legales, como incurrir en responsabilidad civil o incluso penal.

Algunos ejemplos de incumplimiento de estas obligaciones del fiduciario son:

- Una gestión deficiente de los fondos y bienes fideicomitidos que conlleva una pérdida económica para los fideicomisarios o beneficiaries.

- Trato discriminatorio a unas clases de fideicomisarios con respecto a otros.

- Decisiones de inversión equivocadas

Hace poco traduje documentos de un buque de carga

Hace poco traduje documentos de un buque de carga para solicitar un permiso en España.

La terminología naval, naviera y náutica, ya sea en inglés o en español, es una lengua de especialidad que ha evolucionado a lo largo de los siglos debido a la rica historia de la navegación.

Hay palabras de uso general que adquieren un significado específico en el contexto de especialidad. Por ejemplo, en las medidas técnicas específicas del navío:

➡️Length: eslora
↔️Breadth: manga
⬇️Draft: calado
⬇️(Moulded) depth: puntal

Otras: line (cabo), frame (cuaderna, entre otros significados)

Los traductores jurados no solo nos ocupamos de traducir terminología administrativa y jurídico-económica. Un claro ejemplo de ello es la terminología náutica, que puede surgir en documentos relacionados con el comercio marítimo o las embarcaciones de recreo (matriculaciones, compraventas, aduanas e importaciones, pólizas de seguros e inspecciones).

La apostilla electrónica (e-Apostille) se usa par

La apostilla electrónica (e-Apostille) se usa para legalizar determinados documentos. En el Reino Unido, la apostilla lleva la firma electrónica de la Oficina de Legalizaciones del Foreign Office (Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores).

El documento debe estar certificado por un notario o abogado colegiado en el Reino Unido. Después, se entrega en formato PDF para el apostillado.

Una vez recibido el documento que se va a legalizar, se emite la apostilla en formato electrónico. El PDF incluirá una 'cover letter' con instrucciones para acceder al documento legalizado y la apostilla (se necesita Adobe Reader) y, posteriormente, proceder a su traducción jurada, si fuera necesario.

En el Reino Unido, algunos documentos no se pueden apostillar electrónicamente, por ejemplo, partidas de nacimiento, defunción, certificados de matrimonio o adopción o cualquier otro documento del Registro Civil, certificados de antecedentes penales de Inglaterra y Gales o certificados de huellas dactilares.
