Translation Tips
Spanish Translation Tips & Challenges
To ensure quality translation services, you need a company that understands all languages involved, and the way in which each language is used differently throughout the globe. European Spanish differs from Latin American Spanish in ways that can make a substantial difference for your intended audience. There are key considerations in translating to or from European Spanish to keep in mind.
Varieties
Spanish Varieties and Dialects
With over 20 countries that primarily speak Spanish, there is a variety of accents, dialects, and expressions used. It is entirely possible that a Spanish speaker from Latin America would be understood in Spain, but just as there are differences between British and American English, so too are there differences among Spanish as it is spoken throughout the world.
To begin, Spanish spoken in Spain is called Castellano, not Espanol, which is how it is referred to in Latin America. The name refers to the town of Castile, where the Spanish language is believed to have originated. Additionally, accents and the speed of Spanish speakers from different countries may vary, which can make using highly generic translation services problematic.
In Spain and some Latin American countries, the usage of formal versus familiar pronouns will vary from that of other Latin American countries.
In Castilian Spanish, it is more likely that people would use the past perfect tense of verbs to describe previous actions. With Latin American Spanish, it would be more likely to use simple past tense.
As with many similar languages that are spoken across different countries or regions, there can be big differences between vocabulary terms. This is one of the areas in translation services with the most at stake. By using the wrong nouns for different items, you may reveal a lack of local language competency. This can put your company’s brand at risk if it appears that you do not understand the customers in a particular region.
There may also be a difference in the way some words are pronounced. Most Spaniards would pronounce a “z” or “c” sound like a “th”. If you have ever heard the city of Barcelona said by a Spaniard, you have heard it as, “Bar-the-lona”. In Latin American Spanish, the “c” sound would be a soft “c” as it is written. Castilian Spanish speakers would also pronounce the final letter “s” on many words, like “vamos”, while for those speaking Latin American Spanish, the final “s” sound is often dropped.
Even within countries, understanding regional and local accents and colloquialisms and using them appropriately lends credibility to your projects and earns the respect of your customers. Andovar understands how to corral the wide range of translation services available today and brings them together with excellent project management skills to produce the best Spanish translation service.

Properly translated Spanish can take up as much as 25% more space, so understanding how to carefully edit without sacrificing substance and meaning is important.
