Spanish Translation Services
Businesses in today’s environment cannot afford to ignore the potential of the Spanish-speaking marketplace. It is estimated that by 2008, Spanish speaking customers will represent over 20% of all global gross spend.
Spanish is now the third most widely spoken language in the world and is the official language of twenty-four countries. Over 500 million people speak Spanish throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Africa, and it has become an unofficial second language in the U.S.
Regional Variations
As with most widely spoken languages, the Spanish language has developed many local variants. These are mainly European Spanish and the Latin American Spanish of Mexico, Chile, Argentina, etc.
The term "Spanish for Latin America" can be a little misleading, as there is no official Spanish language for the Latin American regions - i.e. the Spanish of Cuba will vary slightly from that of Mexico or Argentina.
The best way of achieving a fully understandable Spanish translation for Latin America is to use more than one translator, each from different regions, with one translating and the other proofreading. Between them, they will be able to reach a consensus on the most widely used terminology for your target audience.
Another consideration with Spanish translation is the final length of a translated document. A Spanish translation will typically be twenty percent longer than its English equivalent. When layout may be an issue, remember to leave plenty of space for the translated text.
