English to Spanish Translation Services and Translators

English to Spanish translation of your website or documents offers great potentials because of the enormous number of Spanish speakers world-wide. Spanish is spoken not only in Spain, but by about 350 Million people (417 Million, including second-language speakers) in 43 other countries of the world (more than the entire population of the US). The most important countries by number of speakers are: Mexico (86 Million), Colombia (34 Million), Argentina (33 Million), Spain (28 Million), USA (22.5 Million), Venezuela (21.5 Million), and Peru (20 Million).

With respect to economic power, the USA and Spain are certainly the most important target countries for English to Spanish translation. In fact, 8.9% of the US population claim Spanish as their first language (1990 census). When marketing your products or services in the US, offering Spanish information of your marketing material, website, and product or service documentation is essential. While the majority of the Hispanic population does speak English, translating your materials will demonstrate that you care about that large segment of the population.

Even though use of the Internet is not as common in many Spanish-speaking countries, the sheer number of speakers makes it worthwhile to translate your website into Spanish as well. Keep in mind that in less developed countries, the people with access to the Internet are also the people with buying power, and English to Spanish translation of your Website will reach these people. Also remember that the Spanish Internet is miniscule compared to the number of English web pages, so your Spanish site is likely to draw more visitors.

Dial a lects

Due to the large number of Hispanic countries, there are also a vast number of dialects. Most importantly, we have to differentiate between Spanish spoken in Spain and Latin American Spanish. However, even in Latin America, dialects vary greatly from country to country. When selecting an English to Spanish translator to translate your document, make sure you know your target country. Make sure that the translator is familiar with the dialect of that country or, better yet, lives there.
