Spanish (Latin American) translation services

Spanish translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual work, with the rate depending on subject matter, volume and turnaround rather than which Latin American country you're targeting. Building a term glossary for a new market takes a little longer on a first project, but doesn't change the per-word rate.

Yes. Every project is translated by a native Latin American Spanish linguist familiar with your target country, matched to your subject matter, and checked by a second native reviewer before delivery — so vocabulary, verb forms and everyday expressions all read as genuinely local rather than generic.

Yes — Spanish translation, subtitling and voice over come from one team, so the country-specific glossary agreed 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 built against the same term list.

Not for free. Everyday vocabulary genuinely diverges between countries — a car, a computer and a mobile phone are called something different depending on where your audience is. A workable pan-regional script can be built by deliberately avoiding the most country-specific terms, but that has to be a decision we make with you, not an assumption baked into a generic translation.

We ask at the brief stage: which country or countries is this for, and if it's more than one, is a pan-regional script acceptable or does each market need its own version? We then fix a term inventory before translation starts — the everyday words that vary by country — so it's a deliberate choice recorded up front, not something discovered halfway through a project.

Voseo is the use of vos instead of tú for the informal second person, standard in Argentina, Uruguay and parts of Central America, and it comes with its own verb forms — vos sos, vos tenés. If your project targets any of those markets specifically, we factor it in at the brief; if you're aiming pan-regionally, we typically avoid it so the script travels more easily.

Use this page if your audience is anywhere in Latin America. If you're targeting Spain specifically, our Spanish (European) service is the right fit — vocabulary, verb forms for addressing a group, and everyday register differ enough between the two that one script rarely works well for both without review.

Yes. Audiovisual is our specialisation, not our limit — we translate corporate documents, articles, marketing material, technical content and eLearning courses just as often as scripts and subtitles, always against the same country-specific glossary agreed for your project, so a website update and a training video never contradict each other's terminology.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and how much of the terminology needs fixing at the brief for a new market all move the date. Your project manager confirms a realistic timeline once they've reviewed your files, so nothing is left vague.
