What we translate in Spanish

The document types that make up most of our Spanish workload, each handled by translators with a background in that field.

Technical documentation

Manuals, instructions for use, specifications and safety documentation for Spanish and Latin American markets.

Regulatory and health documentation

Product information, labelling and submission material for Spanish and Latin American regulatory bodies.

Contracts and corporate documents

Commercial agreements, corporate records and compliance documentation for Spanish-speaking counterparties.

Commercial and web content

Product and marketing content localized for a specific market rather than translated into a generic Spanish.

What makes Spanish translation different

Every language creates its own problems. These are the ones that decide whether Spanish work succeeds or has to be redone.

01
European and Latin American Spanish are separate targets

The differences are not stylistic. Vocabulary diverges (ordenador / computadora, móvil / celular), the vosotros verb forms used in Spain are absent from Latin American usage, and regulatory and legal terminology differs by country. Choosing one version for both markets is a legitimate budget decision, but it is a compromise and we would rather name it than let you discover it in a customer complaint.

02
“Neutral Spanish” has rules, and they have to be agreed

A single version serving both Spain and Latin America is possible, and for internal or technical content it often makes sense. It works by deliberately avoiding region-marked vocabulary and verb forms — which means the rules have to be set before translation starts and recorded in the glossary, not improvised per sentence by each translator.

03
Spanish expands the most

At 20–25% longer than English, Spanish produces the largest expansion of the major European languages. Packaging fields, UI labels and table columns designed to fit English will overflow. We measure the expansion on your real content and report it before layout, which is considerably cheaper than reflowing artwork afterwards.

Spanish translation: common questions

Which Spanish do we need?

Choose by where the product is sold or the document submitted. Spain and Latin America are separate targets; within Latin America, Mexican, Argentinian and Colombian usage differ enough that regulatory and consumer-facing content often warrants its own version even after choosing "LatAm".

Is neutral Spanish good enough?

For internal documentation, technical manuals and B2B material, usually yes. For consumer-facing marketing, packaging and anything where tone drives a purchase decision, a market-specific version performs measurably better. We will give you a straight recommendation for your content type rather than upselling by default.

Can you provide certified Spanish translations?

Yes. Spain operates a sworn translator (traductor jurado) system appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for certain official purposes, while many commercial and corporate documents accept an agency certification. Tell us the receiving body and we will confirm which form applies.
