About this language pair

English and Spanish: one pair, two directions

From English into Spanish you translate for business partners, clients and authorities abroad; from Spanish into English for UK authorities, banks and employers. In both directions a native specialist translator with domain experience works on your text.

Where an authority asks for a certified translation, we bring in a sworn translator. The translation carries the required declaration, signature and stamp, and we arrange the Apostille or consular legalisation your destination country demands.

Translation from English to Spanish

We translate English into Spanish for law firms and legal departments doing business with Spain and Latin America. Typical work includes share purchase agreements, commercial contracts and terms and conditions, prepared by legal specialist translators familiar with both common law and civil law drafting, with a second review where the legal field or risk profile requires it.

Translation from Spanish to English

We translate Spanish into English when legal documents arrive from Spain, Mexico or Argentina: court judgments, powers of attorney and notarial deeds intended for UK courts, regulators and counterparties. Certified translation is coordinated on request via the register the receiving authority accepts. Response within 30 minutes during business hours.

In practice

How such a project runs

A law firm prepares cross-border proceedings: submissions and exhibits go from English into Spanish, foreign deeds and judgments come back for the UK file. Legal specialist translators keep terminology consistent across the whole file, with certification where the court demands it.

In which direction does this English-Spanish translation work?
Bidirectional: from English into Spanish and the reverse. We coordinate native translators into the target language and confirm the variant per project.
Does Ecrivus provide certified English-Spanish translations?
Yes, certified English-Spanish translation is coordinated on request, typically via Wbtv-registered translators (Netherlands), NRBTV (Belgium), öbu (Germany), expert traducteur près la cour d'appel (France) or ITI/CIOL (UK), depending on the receiving authority.
What document types are commonly translated between English and Spanish?
Common types: contracts, annual reports, technical manuals, personal documents (birth certificates, diplomas, extracts), notarial deeds and commercial correspondence.
How quickly will I receive a quote?
We respond within 30 minutes on working days with a quote. Lead time is confirmed in the quote.
How does Ecrivus assure quality?
We combine native specialist translators with a structured QA layer (terminology list, style guide, second review where the legal field, risk profile or volume requires it). CAT tools (Trados / memoQ / Phrase TMS) ensure consistency across volume and repetitions.
What legal terminology applies to English-Spanish?
We distinguish between legal systems (common law versus civil law where relevant) and specialised terminology (litigation/procedure, force majeure, SPA/share purchase agreement). Source document and glossary are appended to deliverables.
Is the translation delivered as a certified version?
Yes, certified English-Spanish translation is coordinated on request, typically via Wbtv-registered translators (Netherlands), NRBTV (Belgium), öbu (Germany), expert traducteur près la cour d'appel (France) or ITI/CIOL (UK), depending on the receiving authority.
