English to Spanish Document Translation

A document that needs to be translated into the national language before it can be presented for use in another country which uses a language other than English for legal or other purposes can be done via our services. Document translation is mandatory if the country in which you intend to work, buy property, open a bank account or conduct legal proceedings requires you to submit your documents in their official language.

English to Spanish translation is required if you need to submit documents in countries such as Spain, Brazil, Argentina or Cuba, where the official language is Spanish.

The English to Spanish translation has to be completed in such a manner that the meaning of the translated document exactly matches the source document. This is important because even a minor error can have catastrophic consequences due to a change in the meaning and the intent of the document.

Translation mistakes can be avoided by using an experienced Spanish translation company, with a network of translators who have excellent knowledge of the language, its grammar and its usage, and are ready to certify their translation. Spanish translation agencies also need to ensure that they use the right dialect, since Spanish dialects vary from Europe to Latin America.

Since all UK-originated documents that need to be submitted in Cuba, for instance, need to be translated into Spanish, choosing an agency that provides certified Spanish translation will ensure that your documents retain their integrity and are in the desired format.

The certified Spanish translators at Legalisations.org.uk can ensure accurate translation of your documents. Our translators are well aware of the cultural differences between the two languages of English and Spanish, and the difference in the grammatical density of the two languages. They are further aware of the difference in cultural context between the various Spanish speaking countries. They take care to ensure that language specific grammatical features are considered while translating documents.

All English-Spanish translations for presentation in non-member countries of the Hague Apostille Convention, such as Cuba, the documents will need to be apostilled by the UK FCO for their acceptance within that country. The apostille stamp authenticates the translated versions for use in another country.

As Cuba is not a member of The Hague Apostille Convention, apostille certification is not adequate for the acceptance of UK-originated documents, such as Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates, University Degrees, Medical Certificates, and Powers of Attorney. An additional step of consular legalisation is required, wherein the translated and apostilled documents are submitted to the Cuba Embassy in London for legalisation.

However, if the country in which you need to present your documents is part of The Hague Apostille convention, such as Argentina, the translated documents require only an apostille certificate and do not have to be submitted for consular legalisation.
