One of the primary challenges a translator faces when translating into Spanish is tailoring the translation to its target audience. Not only is Spanish the official language of over 20 countries, but the Hispanic/Latino population is now the largest minority in the US. Within this minority, we must further distinguish among the various populations influencing each area: Mexican in California, Caribbean in Miami, Puerto Rican in NY, just to name a few. Because of these many influences, and corresponding significant variances in the Spanish language, we must ensure that each translation is the right fit for the audience for whom it is intended. And that is why the role of editors and proofreaders is so crucial to our success.

Each of our tailor-made translations is carefully edited and proofread by a second qualified linguist, a native-speaker of the target language and, most importantly, a member of the target audience for whom the translation is intended. In addition to ensuring that the translation is free of typos or other errors, it is the editor’s responsibility to ensure that each translation contains the appropriate terminology, style and tone. This is a particularly vital step when it comes to translations aimed at the US Hispanic market, and it enables us to address each and every US Spanish-speaking population with linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity.

Over the past few years, our team has expanded to include skilled editors and proofreaders, not only in Spanish, but also in over 100 other languages, enabling us to ensure that all our translations, regardless of the language, go through this fundamental quality-assurance process.
