A Growing Need for Spanish Language Books

Spanish book translation service

There are approximately 437 million people worldwide whose first language is Spanish. In the United States alone, where we have the second largest population of Spanish speakers in the world,  there are over 40 million people who speak Spanish at home or as a first language. So while they may also be fluent in English, they may be more comfortable with Spanish. However, when you go to a local bookstore and look at the Libros en Español section, the selection is slim, and even online there are only around 130,000 books available on Tienda Kindle, Amazon’s digital content store.

Understanding the Benefits of Spanish Book Translation

There are a multitude of benefits to translating your book to Spanish. The main perks to enjoy include:

  • An increased prospective audience. With your book available in Spanish, even if it’s only in America, you’re opening yourself up to 41 million more potential customers!
  • Increased income. Of course, as you expand your customer base, your sales will increase. This leads to more income for you as an author or publisher.
  • Decrease your competition. With so much competition in the English market for authors, it’s almost impossible to stand out, especially with only an e-book or as a first time author. As translating books from English to Spanish is still relatively uncommon, having your books available in Spanish sets you apart with limited competition.
  • Improved visibility in English markets. Books and authors are often ranked in searches by sales, so as an author, the more you sell, the more visibility you get. As you sell more books to a Spanish-speaking audience, get reviews, and gain traction, you’ll gain more visibility in the English-speaking selection, too.
  • A loyal fan base. When Spanish speaking individuals realize your books are available, they’ll actively seek out your books online or in stores. Even more important, they will tell their friends, and you’ll see benefits from word-of-mouth marketing.

Who is English to Spanish Book Translation For?

Anyone who writes or distributes books can benefit from our professional English to Spanish book translation services. This includes:

  • Publishing houses who print books
  • Authors who self-publish physical books and sell through their website, brick and mortar stores, or through online retailers
  • Authors who self-publish through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
  • Business owners who use ebooks as opt-ins and email subscription capture tools
  • Employers needing employee handbooks and safety guides in Spanish

Simply put, if you want people to access your books, whether they are digital or physical, you will benefit from book translation services.

What to Look for in a Translation Service

When you choose to have your book translated, there are multiple services and options available. It’s important to select a service that not only maximizes your profit, but also provides high-quality, accurate translation. Ask these questions when looking for the ideal service for your needs:

  • Do they rely primarily on translation software with minimal human oversight or do they rely on live translators? (Software is notorious for missing nuance, misunderstanding idioms, and making contextual errors)
  • How do they charge for services? Is it a flat fee, or do they take a cut of your royalties?
  • Will you have input during the process, and will you have a direct point of contact?
  • Will you have full rights to your translated book?
  • Have they translated similar works or understand your genre or niche?
  • Do they offer additional services, including website translation for marketing purposes?
