English ↔ Spanish — Both Directions
Professional Spanish document translation services in both directions — English to Spanish and Spanish to English. Standard and certified options available for personal, business, and legal documents. Latin American and neutral Spanish variants covered.
English to Spanish
English-language documents translated into accurate, natural Spanish — for submission to Spanish-speaking institutions, business use in Spanish-speaking markets, or personal communications.
English to Spanish translation is the process of rendering an English-language document — whether a personal certificate, a legal contract, a business agreement, or an academic record — into Spanish with complete fidelity to the meaning, structure, and intent of the original.
At Meridian Translations, every English to Spanish translation is completed by Santiago Pedraza, a professional translator holding a qualification from the University of Malta, who works natively and professionally between English and Spanish. The translation is completed directly from the English source — no machine-generated intermediate steps.
Where a certified translation is required — for example when submitting to an official institution — a signed certification statement is included with the translation. For general use, a standard translation is available. If you are unsure which applies, describe your intended use when you request a quote.
Spanish to English
Spanish-language documents translated into clear, accurate English — the direction most commonly required for immigration filings, academic applications, and legal proceedings in English-speaking countries.
Spanish to English translation is the most frequently requested direction at Meridian Translations. Individuals and businesses in English-speaking countries — including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada — regularly need Spanish-language documents translated into English for submission to immigration authorities, courts, universities, and employers.
Every Spanish to English translation at Meridian is completed by Santiago Pedraza — the same qualified translator who handles all English to Spanish work. There is no outsourcing and no machine translation. Santiago reads the Spanish source directly and produces the English translation without intermediary steps.
When the translated document will be submitted to an official body, a certified translation is required. For internal use or general reference, a standard translation is appropriate. See our document translation page for more detail on the difference between standard and certified options.
Language Variants
Spanish is spoken across more than twenty countries. The vocabulary, register, and conventions appropriate for a document vary by intended audience and context.
Translations intended for use in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, or other Latin American countries are produced in the vocabulary, register, and conventions appropriate to that region. If you know the specific country of the intended recipient, please mention it in your quote request.
For documents with no specific regional audience — or where the translation will be used across multiple Spanish-speaking countries — we produce translations in neutral, internationally understood Spanish. This is common for official documents, legal texts, and business materials intended for a broad audience.
If you are translating from Spanish into English, indicate in your quote request which region or country the source document originates from. This helps ensure our translator accounts for any region-specific terminology in the source.
Service Options
The right option depends on how you intend to use the translation. Here is what distinguishes the two types.
A standard Spanish translation converts the full content of your document from English to Spanish or Spanish to English. The translation is delivered as an editable file and is suitable for internal use, business reference, or general communications.
From — request a quote for your document.
A certified translation includes the full translated content plus a signed certification statement by the translator, attesting that the translation is accurate and complete. This is the format prepared to meet the requirements of immigration authorities, courts, universities, and other official institutions.
From — request a quote. See also our certified translation page for full details.
If you are unsure which option is right for your situation, describe the intended use of the translated document when you request a quote and we will advise accordingly. For notarized translations, see our notarized translation page.
What We Translate
Spanish translation is needed across a wide range of personal, professional, and institutional contexts. We translate documents for all of these uses.

Contracts, terms and conditions, compliance documentation, internal reports, and business correspondence for companies working across English- and Spanish-speaking markets. Accurate translation avoids ambiguity in binding agreements and supports clear cross-border communication.

Common Questions
Yes. Meridian Translations works in both directions — English to Spanish and Spanish to English. We do not offer translation into or from any other languages. Both directions are handled by the same qualified translator, Santiago Pedraza.
Our translator works with Latin American Spanish and neutral/international Spanish, as well as standard written Spanish. If your intended audience or receiving institution is in a specific Spanish-speaking country — Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and others — let us know when you request a quote and we will ensure the translation is appropriate for that context. For documents without a specific regional audience, we default to neutral, internationally understood Spanish.
If you need the translation for official use — such as submitting to an immigration authority, court, university, or government body — you will likely need a certified translation, which includes a signed statement by the translator attesting to its accuracy and completeness. Standard translations are suitable for internal use, general reference, or business purposes. If you are unsure which applies, describe your intended use when you request a quote and we will advise accordingly.
