GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Spanish term or phrase: como se puede apreciar
Context: Insurance Letter
Como se puede apreciar, la Poliza disponia un periodo de grade de 60 dias para el pago de las primas de seguro, desde la fecha en que el mismo fuese vencedero.

I'm not sure what a good translation of "como se puede appreciar" would be. Right now I have it as "As it can be seen" but that sounds odd. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Explanation:
I'm not totally clear on the best translation since I don't know who the author/recipient are but these could work. It also sounds like the English might work better without it. Good luck!

agree  Cinnamon Nolan: Or the passive "as can be seen" - or simply omit, as you said. :-)

agree  Luis Vasquez: I also think that the you is redundant in this case and as Cinnamon Nolan pointed out it is important to have the verb see in its past participle form.

  -> Hi Luis, there are two different phrases in question: one is "as you can see" which I prefer in this case, and the other is "as can be seen". Thank you!
agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: As can be seen.
