Why Use Spanish Translation Services?

With over 45 million people, nearly 15% of our population, speaking Spanish at home, why would you use professional Spanish translation services? First off understand that when we speak about Spanish translation services we are referring to written document translations.

Translating English into Spanish takes more than verbal proficiency of Spanish. This person performing the Spanish translation needs to:

  • Be proficient in English
  • Have superior writing skills
  • Have exceptional knowledge of grammar in both languages
  • Be a subject matter expert - terminology plays a big role in a translation, especially with medical translation
  • Be proficient in Word, using PDFs, and other file formats
  • Have a solid understanding

Don’t settle for someone in your office who just happens to speak both languages. Use a translation agency offering professional Spanish translation services.

  1. Great advice. We learned this the hard way when we had someone in office who spoke only a little Spanish translate a few documents instead of using spanish translation services. Lets just say it didn't go over too well.
