English to Spanish translation agency for every Spanish market
Native translators in Castilian and Latin American Spanish for business, legal, technical and marketing content.
An English to Spanish translation agency converts your documents, websites and campaigns into Spanish by native translators of the right variant: Castilian for Spain, neutral Latin American for the Americas. The choice of variant decides whether your text reads local or foreign. Orion Translations translates both variants from Barcelona, since 2009.
One language, many markets
Spanish is the gateway to more than 500 million speakers, but no single Spanish serves them all. Spain and Latin America differ in vocabulary, pronouns, register and legal terminology, and readers notice the wrong variant immediately: a Mexican customer reading vosotros knows the text was not written for them.
Orion Translations assigns every project to a native translator of the target variant, revised by a second linguist. Based in Barcelona, we serve companies entering Spain, Spanish firms addressing Latin America, and international businesses that need both variants from a single accountable partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Match the variant to your audience. If you are selling or filing in Spain, use Castilian Spanish; if your market is Mexico, Colombia or the wider region, use Latin American Spanish, written neutrally so it reads naturally across countries. Vocabulary, pronouns and register differ enough that the wrong variant is instantly noticeable. Orion Translations assigns native translators of the specific variant you need.
- The written differences that matter commercially are vocabulary and pronouns: Spain says ordenador and uses vosotros; Latin America says computadora and uses ustedes. Legal and administrative terminology also differs by country. A native of the target variant makes these choices automatically; a non-native produces Spanish that reads foreign to half your market.
- English-Spanish is one of the most competitive language pairs, with professional rates typically between 0.08 and 0.15 euros per word depending on specialisation: marketing and legal content sit above general text. Orion Translations quotes a fixed price and confirmed delivery date within one business day.
- A professional translator covers roughly 2,000 to 2,500 words per day, plus revision by a second linguist. A 10,000-word document is typically delivered in about a week; larger projects are split across a coordinated team with shared terminology so delivery scales without losing consistency.
- Yes. For documents submitted to Spanish courts, universities, extranjería and other authorities, Orion Translations provides sworn translations by translators accredited by Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEC), whose signature and seal give the translation official validity throughout Spain.
- For a single document, a good freelancer is fine. An agency adds value when volume, deadlines or consistency matter: a second-linguist revision on every text, translation memories that keep terminology stable across projects, capacity to absorb urgent or large jobs, and one accountable point of contact. Orion Translations has managed English-Spanish projects from Barcelona since 2009.
