Spanish term

Tal como actúan

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Hi there,

I'm translating a power of attorney and I'm not sure what "tal como actúan" means here:

[After the "COMPARECEN" section with the details of the appearing parties]

INTERVIENEN:
Ambas, en nombre e interés propio
Y esto expuesto, tal como actúan:
DICE
PRIMERO.- FUNDACIÓN Y RÉGIMEN:

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I use the old version of term search too, because it finds more entries than the new one (don't ask me why). In fact the new version seems pretty useless to me: definitely worse than the earlier one. Inverted commas à la Google are no use on the site term search. But unless you click the "match entire phrase" box it gives you every entry containing "según" and every entry containing "intervienen". This is what you must have done, Helena. With the "match entire phrase" box ticked I got 1 result from a personal glossary:
https://www.proz.com/personal-glossaries/entry/16635407-segú...

But without the box ticked I got 1696.

The third of these caught my eye: "según actúa". But the chosen translation is "as he/she acts", which IMHO is not ideal.

If you really want to know what the glossary has, use Google as well.

I don't know if the latest version of the term search is working because I use the earlier version. This is what I got for 'según intervienen' (without inverted commas):

@Charles I just ran a search for "según intervienen" and got this: "No results found
Try to broaden your search criteria, or ask a KudoZ question."

@Olivia I think it means the same as "según intervienen", a common formula for which there are several glossary entries
