I used google translate to translate the whole document

Just upload the entire file

Permanent address is your Spanish address. There should be another option directly after or in the next page to add another address. That is where you’ll put you UK addresss

I just checked the application again

For home address, put the Spanish address

It’ll ask:

Is your permanent address same as your current address?

Say no and you can put in the UK address
