	D'you do much Spanish translation?
	Definitely. Spanish English translation and English Spanish translation are the most widely searched on the web. Over twice as many searches are made for Spanish translation as French, (which we naturally provide, with German and many others - see translation)... and our much-complimented Spanish English translation and English Spanish translation makes us excellent partners.
	Coincidentally, I'm looking for English Spanish translation - anything I should know?
	Castilian or Latin Spanish? European ("Castilian") and South American Spanish differ considerably, so know which you want. A compromise "Spanish translation" for both really doesn't work! We have long-established partners in Chile and Argentina for South American Spanish translation ("Latin Spanish") and in Spain for European ("Castilian") Spanish translation, and handle both daily. (The same applies to Portuguese - European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese differ, so we use translation partners in either Portugal or Brazil).
	That's useful, thanks - anything else?
	Firstly, while in English Spanish translation punctuation isn't unlike English, commas and points are reversed in numbers. So 1,234.56 in an English Spanish translation becomes 1.234,56!
	Secondly, correspondence is more "flowery" than in the UK - so English Spanish translation of correspondence may grow considerably. Equally, Spanish English translation often shrinks... it doesn't mean we've missed something! Author-recipient relationship affects tone and opening/closing text, so if we're doing your English Spanish translation of a business letter there's reason behind our nosey questions about your relationship with the addressee!
	Thirdly, English Spanish translation grows up to 30% - important for English Spanish translation of a typeset document. It's also important in Spanish voiceover - allow for the longer Spanish in the video production! Check out our useful Spanish voiceover guide
	Do you have a Spanish interpreting UK base too? - I've a visitor coming...

	So what's a "sworn Spanish translator"? Is it different to "certified"?
	The UK doesn't really have "sworn translators", although it's usual on mainland Europe. A Spanish sworn translator must be accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to translate and legalize documents, usually by Ministry translation exam or a university translation and interpreting degree including accredited legal translation modules. They have a 'seal', to stamp documents giving them legal status. The UK equivalent to using a "sworn Spanish translator" is certified translation; the translator needs a good language qualification and extensive experience, denoted by membership of the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.
	What about Spanish transcription?
	We do lots of Spanish transcription too - see our Transcription page. Spanish transcription is popular for US law enforcement, conferences and research, and can be mono- or bilingual - so the Spanish transcription may also have a Spanish English translation. Legal use often requires sworn transcription. Voice recognition developers are also large Spanish transcription clients.
	Cool - the other thing's Castilian or Latin Spanish voiceover or Spanish subtitling?
	That's us - see our voiceovers page. Since we're primarily a language service, the translation standard of our Spanish subtitling and voiceover scripts is identical to our commercial Spanish translation - mother-tongue, professional Spanish translators + 100% review by our in-house linguists - something you won't find from many studios! Spanish voiceover UK demand is usually European - Castilian - although Latin American Spanish voiceover (e.g. Mexican, Chilean, Argentinian) is popular. Some Castilian Spanish voiceovers include (click name for sample): Rico; Joachim; Juanita; Carolina and Tia, while Latin American Spanish voiceovers (Mexican, Chilean, Argentinian) include Miguel and Ana.
