Spanish Translation for LatAm

Spanish is the largest language we plan to localize for. But "Spanish for LatAm" is not one language. Mexican Spanish, Colombian Spanish, Argentine Spanish, and Chilean Spanish diverge in vocabulary, pronouns (tú vs vos), and slang. Here is how we handle it.

Answer

We are localizing for Mexican Spanish as the base (largest market, widely understood across LatAm). Variations for Argentina, Chile, and Colombia are minor (specific word swaps, payment method names, country-specific tax notes). For pages targeting specific countries (São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Mexico City), we use the local variant. For general pages, Mexican Spanish is the default.

Why Mexican Spanish as base

Mexico is the largest single Spanish-speaking market for non-resident US LLC formation (~25K founders we estimate). Mexican Spanish is widely understood across all LatAm countries. Picking Mexican as base + minor variations = broader reach than picking Argentine or Chilean Spanish.

What changes by country variant

Pronouns: tú in Mexico/Colombia, vos in Argentina, both used in Chile/Uruguay
Currency examples: peso mexicano vs peso argentino vs peso colombiano vs peso chileno
Local payment methods: SPEI (Mexico), Pix (Brazil cross-reference), Transferencia (LatAm general)
Country-specific tax notes: SAT (Mexico), AFIP (Argentina), SII (Chile), DIAN (Colombia)

What stays consistent

Technical US tax terms (EIN, Form 5472, IRS) stay in Spanish but reference the US source. "El IRS exige el Formulario 5472" works across all Spanish variants. Wyoming LLC structure terminology also stays consistent.

Where we plan to deploy

Q3 2028: First 40 Spanish pages (Mexico City, São Paulo Spanish version, Buenos Aires, Bogotá)
Q4 2028: Spanish for tax treaty pages (Mexico, Chile - which has the active treaty now)
2029: Full Spanish for top 100 pages

WhatsApp Business in Spanish

Customer support in Spanish launches alongside content. WhatsApp is heavy in LatAm. Spanish-language WhatsApp support is operationally critical for the launch.

Frequently asked questions
