agree

Diego Esteban: Suele corresponderse con un sencillo QUE en español, que encabeza cada frase después de un EXPONEN, por ejemplo.

agree

disagree

Monica Colangelo: whereas is certainly NOT used in Spanish-language contracts. I disagree because you must translate it, you can't leave it in English in a contract that's written in Spanish// I see now, but actually there is an equivalent in Spanish used in every contract

4 hrs

-> Why do you "disagree" then? That's exactly what I said!! Of course you don't leave it in English!!! That's not what I meat, I said it is just a filling word, that you don't need to translate at all - you just leave it out!!!
