Spanish term

como se puede apreciar

Non-PRO Spanish to English Bus/Financial Education / Pedagogy HOMEWORK ASSSINGMENT
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.

Jim

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

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!
Note from asker:
Yes it may be good to omit! Thank you!

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.

That's a bit nit picky, but in any case it may be left out, no problem.
