Law/Patents - Bienes inmuebles / Deed of Inheritance
Término o frase en español: de cero enteros trescientos cincuenta y cuatro milesimas por ciento
Similar phrases come up in this deed - should I put into the % of translate directly into the 'thousanths'?
Thanks in advance.

Traducción al inglés:words in = words out
Explicación:
Writing out numbers (especially decimal figures) in words does look cumbersome in English but given this is from a legal document, I don't think it's the translator's job to change things in this way. The words should simply be translated.

Whilst it might not be commonplace nowadays, UK legal draftsmen are known to write out numbers longhand.

Note that may European civil countries use "thosandths" to divide interests in land. This is partucularly the case with co-ownerhips where the share of the communal parts of a building are allocated in thousandths to the individual owners.

The asker hasn't told us what this particular text concerns, but it may be appropriate here to translate as "three hundred and fifty four one thousandth parts"

Notas al usuario que envió la respuesta
Usuario que pregunta: I realise that we should translate as words from source text however, I have seen translations, rightly or wrongly, where such words have simply been expressed in figures, hence my query. Thank you for a valid and useful explanation. The text was from a deed of inheritance so it related to land.
