English to Spanish Translation

What is the most important thing you require in a translation? Obviously, you need the meaning to be accurately conveyed. You want the grammar to be correct. And you would like it to be rendered in clean, clear prose. Yet many translators fail to deliver even these basics. We have all read translations that are clumsily worded, plagued with grammar and spelling errors, and in some cases nearly indecipherable.

Here for example is an English to Spanish translation of a surgical consent created by a non-professional, non-native speaker of Spanish:

Source Text  

All surgical procedures including LASIK involve risks of unsuccessful results, complications, infection, injury or even death, from unforeseen or known causes. Neither your surgeon, your optometrist, the Center or its staff can promise or guarantee that the procedures will be effective or make your vision better than it was prior to surgery. There is a possibility that the procedure or a complication arising from the procedure could make your vision worse. Your cornea or retina could be damaged which could result in partial or total blindness or could require a corneal transplant. Certain inflammatory conditions can cause severe postoperative complications such as cornea or flap inflammation or thinning of the flap. This could result in a permanent loss of vision. Because the procedure is relatively new, little data is available regarding long-term outcomes. Likely outcomes may be conveyed to you during your pre-operative exams. These will be based on a number of factors including your level of refractive error and surgeon's opinion.
