Why Do I Need Spanish Translation in the USA?

The United States is considered to be an English speaking country, even though, curiously, the country has no official language. Traditionally, English has been the go-to language for day-to-day communication, from schools, to government to grocery shopping. Over the last years, however, that has begun to change, mainly thanks to the rapidly growing Spanish-speaking population in the United States.

It is estimated that, in 2050, roughly 30% of the United States population will be Latino and Spanish-speaking, with several states already having Latino majority populations. As that population grows, so too does its traditions, beliefs, and of course, language. The United States has become and will continue to be one of the world’s largest Spanish-speaking countries. 

So what does that mean? In order to better serve and cater to this population, it will be more important than ever to provide Spanish language documentation and materials to meet their needs. Do you have a marketing company and need to publish an ad? Better make sure that it’s available in Spanish as well to cater to the Hispanic population. Do you own a restaurant? Maybe it’s a good idea to publish the menu in Spanish as well.
