Spanish to English academic translation, beside the original.
Upload a paper written in Spanish. Read the English beside it, paragraph by paragraph, and export the Word file when the English says what you meant.
Read closely
Where Spanish to English needs a careful read.
These are the places a fluent translation can still miss the meaning. Tolayda puts each Spanish paragraph beside its English, so they are checked where they happen, and a click on the English corrects it.
Words that look alike
Actual means current, not actual. Realizar is to carry out. Eventualmente is closer to possibly than to eventually. A false friend can read fluently and still be wrong.
The impersonal se
Se analizaron las muestras names no one. An English methods section usually turns it into a passive: the samples were analysed.
Long sentences
Academic Spanish allows long chains of subordinate clauses. English readers expect them split, and the split is where meaning can move.
Numbers
Spanish often writes a decimal comma, 105,5 where English writes 105.5, and may group thousands with a point or a space. Check every figure.
Questions.
Can I translate a Spanish thesis or dissertation into English?
Yes, as a Word file (.docx), a PDF, or a LaTeX file (.tex). It works with a free student account (.ac.uk email) or your university's Tolayda licence. A licensed institution sets a limit on the size of a paper.
Will my headings and tables survive?
Translation works block by block. Headings, paragraphs, figure captions, and table cells keep their place in the English, and the Word file keeps its own name.
Can my supervisor read the English?
Yes. Share a read-only link with a lecturer. While that link is open the paper is locked, so what they read is what you left in place.
Does Tolayda certify the translation?
No. Tolayda assists the work. Scholarly review, copy-editing, and any official certification stay with the people responsible for them.
