Spanish (European) translation services

Spanish translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual work, and the rate depends on subject matter, volume and turnaround rather than which Spanish-speaking market you're targeting. A corporate training video costs differently to a short social ad. Send us your files and we'll come back with a free, itemised quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

Yes. Every project for this page is translated by a native Peninsular Spanish linguist based in Spain, matched to your subject matter, and checked by a second native reviewer before delivery — so vosotros, verb forms and everyday vocabulary all read as genuinely Spanish rather than adapted from a Latin American script.

Yes — Spanish translation, subtitling and voice over come from one team, so the Spain-specific address you agree at the brief carries through captions and audio alike. We deliver spotted SRT/VTT subtitle files and timed two-column voice-over scripts, plus a translated document when the project calls for one, all from the same native Peninsular Spanish linguists.

Vosotros is the informal second-person plural used across Spain — the everyday way of saying «you all» to a group you're not being formal with. It comes with its own verb endings, so it shows up in almost any script that addresses more than one viewer. Get it right and the video sounds native to Spain; get it wrong, or use ustedes instead, and it sounds like it was written for somewhere else.

We can, though it's rarely a light edit. Vocabulary, verb forms for group address, and some everyday terms all shift between the two markets, so we review the script properly rather than patching individual words. For anything beyond a short piece, translating fresh from your English source for Spain specifically tends to read more naturally than adapting a Latin American version line by line.

Use this page if your audience is in Spain. If you're targeting Mexico, Argentina, Colombia or any other Latin American market, our Spanish (Latin American) service is the right fit — the vocabulary, verb forms and register are different enough that one script rarely serves both audiences well without review.

Yes. Audiovisual is our specialisation, not our limit — we translate corporate documents, articles, marketing material, technical content and eLearning courses for the Spanish market just as often as scripts and subtitles, always keeping vosotros and Spain-specific vocabulary consistent across every format you send us.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

Almost entirely, for written and audiovisual work. The Canary Islands are the one notable exception: everyday address there leans closer to Latin American usage than to the mainland's vosotros. For most corporate and marketing content this doesn't affect the translation, but if your project targets the islands specifically, tell us at the brief and we'll flag it for review.

Less than people expect: the document, script or subtitle file, its word count, what the text is actually for, and the date you need it by. A draft is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a final version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
