Why translate your texts from German or English into Spanish or from Spanish into English?
It is no secret to anyone that the English language is the lingua franca of our time, nor that globalization occurs, mainly, in English.
If the information of your electronic portal, blog, academic article, or any important text to you is in English and Spanish, that content is expressed in the two most predominant languages in the world.
There are approximately 380 million speakers of English as their mother tongue, but if we add to that all the people who use it as a second language or as a means of reading, English is the most widely used language in the world. According to the Cervantes Institute there are more than 500 million speakers of Spanish, the second language in the world by number of speakers and the second language of international communication.
