Tips For English To Spanish Translation
  • By The Spanish Group

Tips You Must Follow for translate a document
from english to spanish
  • While a basic translation is not exactly
    difficult for those who are bilingual,
    translating a document to a professional level
    requires a much higher level of language
    competence than you may at first realize.
  • Think about this, while a professional writer
    only needs to be an expert in a single language
    to produce a document, a translator needs to be
    an expert in two languages (and often in a
    relevant industry on top of that) to create a
    document. A translator needs to be knowledgeable
    about everything being said so that they can
    adequately reconvey a message while maintaining
    proper grammar, punctuation, and verbiage.

What to Focus on When you Translate an English
into Spanish Document
  • Punctuation, Grammar, and Syntax
  • Perhaps the most prominent and common mistakes
    you will see when an inexperienced translator
    works on a document are punctuation and
    grammatical errors. There is a great deal of
    ambiguity when it comes to things like the
    omission of subject pronouns across various
    Spanish dialects, and translating these sentences
    back into English can often cause issues.
  • Plan Out Your Translation Goal Beforehand
  • It doesn't matter if it is an official document
    translation or some other form of document
    translation service you need to always
    understand and plan around the intended goal of a
    passage. Just like you need to ensure the proper
    meaning is conveyed, you need to ensure the
    proper content and formatting are also relayed.
    There are quite a few steps required in preparing
    an official translation of a government document.

What to Focus on When you Translate an English
into Spanish Document
  • Be Culturally Appropriate
  • Being culturally appropriate can mean a lot of
    things, and generally speaking, it means being
    aware of your audience, how they will interpret
    something, and if you can avoid causing them any
    offense by choosing alternative words.
  • Choose The Right Gendered Words
  • As most understand, Spanish nouns have genders,
    which is often confusing and hard to understand
    for those who only speak English. A translator
    needs to be aware that while the default gender
    in Spanish is masculine (and has been for
    centuries), many brands and personalities are
    trying to avoid gendered words whenever possible
    to be more culturally appropriate. Some
    institutions have since published guidelines to
    help you avoid or work around sexism in language
    when you translate a document from English to
    Spanish or vice-versa.

Hire a Professional English into Spanish
Translation Firm.
  • As you can see, there are quite a few things to
    consider and obstacles to work around to create a
    successful translation. Being bilingual is only
    the beginning of the necessary skills and
    knowledge. This is why so many small businesses,
    big businesses, and individuals worldwide rely on
    translation services to help them get it done
    right the first time.
