Translate Catalan PDFs & documents to English scanned or digital — without breaking the layout

In autonomous communities with their own official language, Spanish universities are required to issue degree certificates in both languages, with Spanish and the regional language printed on the same certificate. Choose Catalan when uploading. The Spanish half will usually be translated to English as well, so the same sentence may appear twice in the English version; when checking, it is enough to follow one of the two. Check the names and dates on the certificate against your passport and transcript.

Spaniards generally have two surnames, and Catalans often put an i, meaning and, between them. In Puig i Ferrer, Puig and Ferrer are both surnames, and the i is neither a middle name nor an initial. The English version usually copies names as they are, but in places it may translate the i as the word and. Watch the accents too: Martí without its accent is a different spelling. Check every name that has to match an ID against the passport, one by one.

Yes. The escriptura de compravenda is the deed of sale signed before a notary. The nota simple is issued by the property registry (Registre de la Propietat) and summarizes a property's description, its registered owner and any burdens on it, such as a mortgage. It is for information only; what has legal force is a formal certificate from the registry. The English version follows the original layout, with areas, the description of the plot and amounts in their original positions, though the decimal comma in amounts may be changed to a decimal point. Before using it with a bank or lawyer outside Spain, ask what they require in the way of certified translation.
