Spanish Translation

There are estimated to be 329 million speakers of Spanish in forty-four countries, making it the second most spoken language in the world. Due to Spain’s colonial past, Spanish has come to be used in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America (excluding Brazil), the Philippines and a few countries in Africa.

Due to its very widespread distribution across the world, a large number of dialects have evolved, such as European or Castilian Spanish, Mexican Spanish, and Chilean Spanish. The most significant differences between each version are in the vocabularies since they are often affected by the indigenous languages. Therefore, effective Spanish translation services must ensure that the words and phrases used are appropriate for the target country or dialect to avoid producing a low quality Spanish translation that is not understood by that population.

Spanish ranks as the most requested language for translators in the United States, primarily because a very large proportion of the U.S. population uses Spanish in everyday life, but also because of the proximity of the U.S. to so many Spanish-speaking countries. The types of Spanish translation requests are very broad and can be anything from English / Spanish translation of consumer and marketing materials aimed at Spanish-speaking consumers in the United States, to the translation of government and legislative materials, as well as a great deal of business transaction information.
