The Spanish Language: History and Stats

Spanish is actually one of the most spoken languages in the world, both in terms of the actual number of people who speak it as well as the number of countries that have Spanish as either a primary or secondary language. It’s estimated that around the globe there are more than 500 million Spanish speakers.

One of the most interesting parts of Spanish is how it’s spoken language can vary from country to country. Speakers from one Spanish country can still understand speakers from another country, however there are definite differences between the Spanish spoke in Mexico, for example, and the Spanish spoke in Spain. As an example of this think about the English that is spoken in the southern US vs. the northeastern US–or better yet the English between the UK, US, and Australia.

The Spanish language in America as we know it today started with the colonization of America around the 1600′s and has continued to develop and evolve ever since. The Spanish language has become more intricate over the years, which is why when you need a professional Spanish translation it’s important to choose someone who speaks and understands both English as well as Spanish. At GLTranslations, we not only speak both Spanish and English fluently but we understand the differences between the Spanish spoken in Mexico and other parts of the world.

Using A Small Firm For Your Professional Spanish Translation

One of the largest problems facing the Professional Spanish Translation industry is the size of the largest translation firms. Many of the larger firms have one goal in mind: maximizing their bottom line. While this is the goal of any company, GLTranslations also has a strong focus on customer service and providing accurate Spanish translation services to meet our customer’s needs.

As an example, let’s assume you are looking for a website translation service. Some firms don’t even offer website translation services, they simply install a plug in or software on your website to automatically translate your site using a software. As we’ve addressed in previous blog posts, software translations are no where near as accurate as professional Spanish translations and they don’t provide the native language elements that our Spanish translation services provide. If the larger translation company actually does offer Professional Spanish Translation services without the use of a machine, then the problem you often run into is with customer service and translation accuracy. These firms employ translators that have goals to meet every day, and they may fly through your website translation so fast they leave misspellings, use incorrect words, or don’t properly translate the text. The problem is that since you don’t speak Spanish you’ll never catch these errors.

GLTranslations focuses strongly on customer service and customer satisfaction, meaning we take the time to closely proof read each and every single translation we provide and guarantee the accuracy of your translation. In addition, we also provide excellent customer service and work with you on a personal level not just as a contractor. Whatever your needs may be in a Professional Spanish translation service, GLTranslation can not only meet your needs, but will exceed them as well.

Translation of Mobile Apps into Spanish

These days it seems like more and more companies are coming out with their own mobile applications (aka mobile apps). The best and fastest way to truly go global is to have your mobile apps translated into several different languages. If you are planning on selling in the Americas, having your mobile app in Spanish, English and French would be a good start.

Just imagine all of the additional downloads your app will get if it is available in several languages. Translation of mobile apps takes skill, as the translator must be familiar with the user interface and learn how to make sure the translation flows correctly. Translating your mobile app could be completed in as little as one business day, depending on the amount of text to be translated. Make sure that you have someone test your mobile app once it is translated to check for any bugs or anything that was overlooked in the translation process.
