Henry Hinds Jan 24, 2015:
Mooted That is another example of how we are divided by our language; I have never seen "moot" used as a verb, yet your usage is 100% legitimate, I find it in Webster's. I get very few documents to translate from countries other than Mexico, so to take on Argentina would be senseless. Chile would make more sense because I am familiar with their variety of Spanish, but not in the legal area, as I have never had anything to do with legal matters while in Chile. Mexico is a challenge in itself; native Spanish-speakers from other countries often do not understand Mexican legal language.
Adrian MM. (X) Jan 23, 2015:
Further reach into Argentina might, as mooted, prove an exciting Hispanic challenge (in terms of beauty).
Henry Hinds Jan 23, 2015:
Adrian I try to stick to my own linguistic areas, because I've been stuck many times by going abroad! You seem to be a bit more universal, at least in English. But after all, the USA and Mexico provide me with a good living, they are both right here and I have no need to reach further.
Adrian MM. (X) Jan 23, 2015:
No. You, Henry, are clued-up. Your compatriot has posted an answer that IMO would be abs. acceptable on the British Isles. So maybe you should post one. PS there is a Scottish lawyer on ProZ who often gives Scots law answers e.g. IT> and DE>EN - whether wittingly or unwittingly, it doesn't matter. It fills a gap in dictionaries..
Henry Hinds Jan 23, 2015:
I'm clueless The only English I know is USA. My Spanish usage is Mexican, but I have varying knowledge of other versions. I can only imagine there well could be differences, and if I know the destination is BrE, I usually will not answer.
Adrian MM. (X) Jan 23, 2015:
@Henry H. - distilling the essence I wonder whether you think AmE would depart from BrE in any part of the question, namely 1. use or spelling of the words notaris/ze (deprecated as ambiguous by City of London notaries) or 2. professional status of the label of Notary in the US vs. Europe or 3. (AmE) corporate vs. (BrE) company resolutions or 4. something else in the form of a hidden Transatlantic trap.
Henry Hinds Jan 23, 2015:
CONTEXT Should this go into British or US English?

the merger resolutions were notarised

I agree with some of the previous answers, but the Spanish is very wordy and you can say it much more concisely in English. I'm assuming there is more than one resolution, since it says acuerdos.

(not enough room for the whole answer:)

"a notarial instrument was formalized, thereby recording the merger resolution in the notary's archives"

There are many ways to express this, but the idea is that the shareholders’ merger resolution (“acuerdos sociales de fusión por absorción,” called “articles of merger” in the US) was formalized in a notarial instrument (“escritura pública”) that was subsequently entered in the notary’s archives or “protocolo” (a procedure known as “protocolización”). “Protocolo” has been rendered variously as “notary’s/notarial archives; “notarial records book,” etc.

The translation offered above is fairly close to the original, but it might also be expressed simply as “the merger resolution was recorded in a notarial instrument that was entered in the notary’s archives (or however you decide to translate ‘protocolo’).”
