Which Spanish Variant Do You Need?

Spanish is not one market. It covers more than 500 million native speakers across 21 countries, split into three commercially distinct variants with different audiences, conventions, and expectations. Choosing the wrong variant undermines your message regardless of how accurate the translation is.

Which Spanish variant do I need?

Spain only: Castilian Spanish. Latin America only: Neutral Latin American Spanish. Global Spanish-speaking markets (most corporate and streaming clients): both Castilian and Latin American Spanish in parallel. US Hispanic audience: Latin American neutral is usually sufficient; some clients commission US-Spanish specifically. Full global coverage: all three.

What Types of Content Do We Translate from English into Spanish?

We work across every major document type and content category. Each requires specific expertise, which is why Orion assigns translators by subject matter rather than by language pair alone.

Why Does Spanish Text Run Longer Than English?

Spanish consistently produces 20 to 30 percent more text than English for equivalent meaning. This has practical consequences for every format you work with.

For documents and reports, your Spanish version will be longer. Page counts increase, and formatting built around English word counts may need adjustment.

For websites and apps, Spanish text overflows fields and buttons sized for English. Our translation service flags these layout issues and, where needed, works with your developer to produce Spanish copy that fits your existing UI. For projects involving a full website migration, our corporate website translation service covers the complete technical workflow.

For subtitles and captions, Spanish lines must fit within the same display time as the English source. Our subtitle translation services handle timing constraints as standard.

For marketing and advertising, longer Spanish copy changes rhythm and emphasis. Where a literal translation produces awkward or overlong results, we apply transcreation: rewriting in Spanish to achieve the same effect as the English original, not a word-for-word rendering.

What Industries Does Orion Translations Cover?

Orion Translations has served clients in the following industries from Barcelona since 2010. Our translators hold subject-matter expertise in the fields they work in. A legal translator has legal training. A medical translator understands clinical terminology and regulatory conventions. We do not assign projects to generalists.

Industries we regularly work in: law and legal services; financial services, banking, and investment management; pharmaceutical and medical devices; engineering and manufacturing; technology, software, and SaaS; media, film, and television; fashion, luxury goods, and retail; education, academia, and e-learning; hospitality and tourism; and public sector and NGOs.

How Does the English-to-Spanish Translation Process Work?

Our six-step process is structured to deliver accurate, consistent translations with no surprises at delivery.

• Project intake. You send us your content, confirm the target Spanish variant, and specify the purpose and audience. We assess the content type, volume, subject matter, and any reference materials you already have.

• Translator assignment. We assign the project to a native speaker of the target Spanish variant who holds subject-matter expertise in your content area.

• Translation. The translator works from your source material, consulting any glossaries, style guides, or reference translations you provide.

• Editing and proofreading. A second linguist reviews the translation for accuracy, consistency, and natural expression. This step is not optional; it is standard on every project.

• Quality check. A final QA pass checks for completeness, formatting, and terminology consistency before delivery.

• Delivery. We deliver in your required format: Word, PDF, XLIFF, SRT, or directly into your CMS.

Turnaround as a general guide: up to 2,000 words in 1 business day; 2,000 to 5,000 words in 2 to 3 business days; larger volumes on a schedule confirmed at the quote stage. Rush delivery is available on request.
