Spanish Foreign Legion Question- What does this Paragraph mean?

Question

http://www.soldados.com/como_ingresar/iberoamericanos.jsp

The first paragraph of this website translates to: "For acogerte to this call you must be citizen of some of the following countries:"

The second paragraph translates to: "You must have the Permission of temporary or permanent Residence or have straight recognized by law the access the Armed Forces for foreigners."

What does all this mean? Do I have to be a citizen of one of the countries or do I have to have residency in spain? Both? Citizenship in Spain? Residency and Citizenship are two different things. One means you can stay in spain, the other means you can vote in spain.

What does it mean by "you must have residency" and "you must be a citizen?"

(use google translation)

Answer 1

Putting two and two together, I'd say it means that you must be eligible for temporary or permanent Spanish residency to enlist.

The 'straight recognised' might mean that alternatively you must meet some regulations that allow foreigners to enlist.

Answer 2

google translater is crap-----trying to translate spanish to english "literally" will make no sense
sentence structure is almost backwards between the two
best bet is to have someone who actually IS bi-lingual and understands both languages translate
