Spanish to English Translation

Spanish is the most spoken foreign language in the U.S., with more than 28 million Spanish-speaking people living in the United States, according to the U.S. Census. The 2005 American Community Survey showed that in the U.S., the states with the largest Spanish-speaking populations were California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Arizona, and New Jersey, with each of them boasting over one million Spanish-speaking residents.

Spanish is part of the same language family as French and Italian, collectively known as the Romance languages, therefore sharing a similar alphabet, vocabulary, and grammar. Spanish is the most used Romance language in the world.

Due to indigenous languages affecting Spanish spoken in more than forty-four countries, a large number of Spanish dialects have evolved. The most significant differences between each dialect are in the vocabularies. For this reason, the Spanish to English translator must be entirely familiar with the particular words and phrases used in a dialect to avoid producing a low quality and incomprehensible Spanish to English translation.

Akorbi hires translators that were born and raised in the United States and have spent years studying the Spanish language to gain the expertise to give you the most effective translation services possible. The United States conducts a great deal of business in the Western Hemisphere and thus interacts very heavily with Spanish-speaking nations. Furthermore, much of the U.S. shares Spain’s culture and heritage from years of colonialism.

Information about the size of the language group living in the U.S. was obtained from the 2000 Census in the form of a sample from the larger pool of results. The estimates about the total number of speakers of a specific language were obtained from Ethnologue (www.enthnologue.com), however these are slightly outdated. Information about which states have the highest populations of a specific language group was obtained from the 2005 American Community Survey.
