Next Tuesday (April 16) I’ll be giving an hour-long (maybe more!) webinar for the American Translators Association on

“Translating Spanish Corporate Documents: 10 Common Pitfalls”

For colleagues who have asked about the specific content, here are the topics I will be covering:

1. The Main Five—standard corporate forms in Spanish-speaking jurisdictions (and possible translations)
2. The basics (translating sociedad, socio, social and societario)
3. Invented and all-too-literal translations
4. Two important ellipses
5. False friends in corporate terminology
6. Weird stuff
7. Tricky expressions
8. Stylistic considerations: Mayúsculas gone wild! and verb tenses in Spanish corporate minutes
9. “Same thing, different name:” terminological variations in Spain and Latin America
10.  US vs UK corporate terminology

The webinar is scheduled for 12 pm EDT. For more details, see here:
