Professional translations specializing in legal, corporate, business and personal documents
Do you need a contract, business document, report or personal document translated?
I provide professional English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translation services, specializing in legal documents, corporate communications, and business documentation.
Every translation is carefully tailored to the specific terminology, context, target audience, and purpose of the document, ensuring an accurate, clear, and natural result.
With over 10 years of experience in the language industry and a degree in Sworn Translation from the University of Buenos Aires, I combine subject-matter expertise, terminological precision, and personalized service.
What is a general translation?
A general translation is a professional translation that does not require the signature and stamp of a registered sworn translator or the formalities of a certified translation.
It is commonly used for internal documents, business communications, contracts, reports, personal documents and content that does not need to be submitted as a certified translation.
Non-certified doesn’t mean less precise. Quality, terminological accuracy and faithfulness to the original document are equally important, particularly when working with legal, financial or corporate information.
The main difference lies in the submission requirements, not the quality of the service.
Specialist translation services
Translation of legal documents and contracts
Legal documents require particular attention to terminology, differences between legal systems, and contextual interpretation.
I provide specialized translation services for contracts and legal documents, preserving the meaning, structure, and accuracy of the original text.
Documents I translate:
- Service agreements, sale and purchase agreements, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
- Business and collaboration agreements.
- Employment contracts and hiring agreements.
- Terms and conditions of use.
- Privacy and data protection policies.
- Corporate documents and powers of attorney.
- Legal communications and correspondence.
- Reports, legal opinions and legal reference documents.
These translations are particularly useful for law firms, businesses, independent professionals and individuals who need to understand, negotiate or exchange documents in another language.
Corporate and business translation
Business communication requires clarity, consistent terminology and a style that reflects each organization’s identity.
I translate corporate documents for businesses operating in international markets or communicating with clients, suppliers, colleagues and business partners in different countries.
Documents I translate:
- Corporate and institutional presentations.
- Management and business reports.
- Procedure manuals and internal policies.
- Codes of conduct and business ethics.
- Internal and external communications.
- Business proposals and client documents.
- Training materials.
- Human resources documents.
- Compliance policies.
- Management and quality system documentation.
The goal is to preserve each document’s communicative intent, use the appropriate terminology and ensure it reads naturally for its intended audience.
Translation of personal documents
I also translate personal documents that do not require official certification.
This service is for people who need to understand, share or use information in another language for personal, professional, academic or administrative purposes.
Documents I translate:
- Personal letters and correspondence.
- CVs and professional profiles.
- Cover letters and letters of recommendation.
- Certificates and supporting documents.
- Academic documents for informational use.
- Family and personal documents.
- Forms and declarations.
- Documents relating to personal applications and procedures.
If your document must be submitted to an authority that requires an official translation, I can also provide the corresponding certified translation service.
Financial and administrative translation
Financial documents require numerical accuracy, specialized terminology, and careful consideration of differences in accounting and business practices.
Documents I translate:
- Financial and economic reports.
- Financial statements and balance sheets.
- Invoices and business documents.
- Audit reports.
- Budgets and financial proposals.
- Banking and administrative documents.
- Financial management reports.
Translation of policies, procedures and technical business documents
Organizations need clear, consistent documentation to implement processes, communicate requirements and maintain their management systems.
I translate manuals, procedures, instructions, policies and documents relating to management systems, regulatory compliance and international standards.
My experience in quality management, compliance, and organizational processes allows me to understand not only the terminology used in these documents but also their operational purpose.
Why choose a professional translation service?
Accuracy and specialization
A quality translation involves much more than replacing words in one language with their equivalents in another.
In legal, contractual and corporate documents, an incorrect term can create ambiguity, affect the interpretation of a clause or change the meaning of a communication.
That is why I approach every project with attention to its context, the document’s purpose and industry conventions.
Confidentiality
Legal, business and personal documents often contain sensitive information.
Confidentiality is part of my professional commitment. Documents are used exclusively to provide the service and handled with appropriate care.
We can also arrange to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) when the project requires it.
Terminological consistency
Consistent terminology is essential in large or ongoing projects.
I use professional translation tools and terminology resources to maintain consistency across documents, versions and deliveries.
Personalized attention
Every project has different needs. Before I begin, I assess the document type, its purpose, its intended audience and the client’s specific requirements.
My goal is to provide a translation that is linguistically accurate and suited to its intended use.

Frequently asked questions about general translations
What is the difference between a general translation and a certified translation?
A general translation is produced by a professional translator but does not include the certification formalities of a certified translation.
A certified translation is prepared and signed by a registered sworn translator and requires legalization by a translators’ association.
Both must meet professional quality standards. The choice mainly depends on the document’s purpose and the receiving party’s requirements.
Can a general translation be used for legal purposes?
A general translation can be used in legal, contractual or business contexts when accepted by the parties involved.
However, it does not meet the formal requirements of a certified translation and may be insufficient for certain official, judicial or administrative procedures.
If you’re unsure which type of translation you need, I can help you identify what to check with the receiving institution or organization to confirm its requirements.
Can I have a contract translated without a certified translation?
Yes. Many contracts and business agreements are translated without certification for review, negotiation, reference, or exchange between companies and individuals.
However, if the contract must be submitted to an authority or institution that requires a certified translation, that requirement must be met.
Can I request a general translation of a personal document?
Yes. I can translate certificates, official letters, academic records, and other personal documents when a certified translation is not required.
If the document is intended for an official application, it is advisable to check the submission requirements beforehand.
Are general translations delivered digitally?
Yes. They are usually delivered by email in formats such as Word or PDF, depending on the project and the agreement with the client.
Can the original document’s formatting be preserved?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the file type and structure, I can preserve the original formatting, including tables, headings, and the overall layout of the document.
Editable files, such as Word documents, usually make this easier. Scanned PDFs or documents with complex layouts may require additional formatting work.
What if my document contains confidential information?
Documents are handled with professional confidentiality. If your business needs to formalize specific information protection requirements, we can arrange to sign an NDA before work begins.
How much does a general translation cost?
The price depends on the length, complexity of the content, format and delivery deadline.
Legal or highly specialized documents may require additional research and terminology review.
To receive a personalized quote, send the document or a representative sample.
How long does a translation take?
Delivery time varies depending on the word count, level of specialization and complexity of the file.
You will receive an estimated delivery date with your quote. You can also ask about urgent projects.
Can I request translations of several documents?
Yes. I can quote for individual documents, sets of files and larger projects.
For businesses and regular clients, we can also establish terminology guidelines and style preferences to ensure consistency across deliveries.
Do you review existing translations?
Yes. In addition to translation, you can request a review of previously translated documents to check their accuracy, terminological consistency, grammar and suitability for their context.
What if I need to change the document after receiving the translation?
If the original document changes, I can assess the work needed to update the translation. The scope and cost will depend on the number and complexity of the changes.
How do I know whether I need a general or certified translation?
The choice depends on how you will use the document.
For informational, business, contractual or personal purposes, a general translation may be sufficient.
If the document must be submitted to an authority, educational institution, government body or another organization with formal requirements, a certified translation may be necessary.
If in doubt, it is best to check with the recipient before commissioning the service.
