Hi Charles,

I was a freelance translator and a translation project manager for several 
years and can tell you there is definitely no app or software that can do what 
the patron wants. Not well, anyways.

Several apps do scan documents to create PDFs from camera images (Adobe has 
one). But if the patron wants to have the file translated, he will have to OCR 
it, and throw the text into a machine translation program such as Google 
Translate. The translation output will undoubtedly be a mess, especially for a 
complex legal document. If the patron goes that route, I would recommend he 
hire a translator to edit the machine translation, especially if the 
translation is intended for official/legal use. 

Let me know if you need any more information about translation or finding a 
freelance translator for Spanish>English.  

Best,
Ima
