What to know about Spanish translation
Spanish is spoken by about 500 million speakers. It uses Latin script and is spoken primarily in Spain, Latin America, the US and Spanish-speaking communities worldwide.
- Formal vs informal. Spanish has two ways to say 'you': tú (informal) and usted (formal/polite). Translations here use usted as the safe default for strangers. Switch to tú for friends and family.
- Regional variation. Spanish differs between Spain and Latin America in vocabulary and some pronunciations. The translation engine uses standard international Spanish — understandable everywhere.
- Gendered nouns. Spanish nouns are masculine or feminine, and adjectives must agree. A sentence about a woman saying 'I am tired' is 'Estoy cansada' (not cansado). If the gender is wrong in a long passage, specify the subject.
