to provide evidence


Explanation:
para desahogar la prueba confesional = to provide confession evidence

In other contexts it would be "to hear" evidence, but in this case the subject is the one providing it.

to file evidence


Explanation:
desahogar en Español latinoamericano significa presentar, dar o entregar pruebas, y las pruebas presentadas o desahogadas en juicios son "evidence." Por lo tanto presentar o desahogar en Ingles Americano es "to file", es decir: "to file evidence"

Example sentence(s):
  • ... the applicant is given leave to file further evidence under rule 20(3), ...
  • Notice of intention to file evidence by deposition
