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. Send us your files and we'll come back with a free, itemised quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

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 turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

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.
