Best Practices for Translating Products to Spanish (Spain)
Localizing Products for Spanish (Spain)-Speaking Customers
Translation is just the beginning. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.
Visual Preferences
- Authentic, natural-looking lifestyle photography is preferred over overly staged or sterile studio shots. Images that convey warmth, social interaction, and enjoyment (e.g., friends sharing a meal, families enjoying a park) resonate well.
- Model representation should be diverse and relatable, reflecting the varied demographics of Spain. Models should appear natural and genuine. Group shots depicting friends or family enjoying products are often more effective than isolated individuals, emphasizing social connection.
- Design aesthetics generally balance modern, clean layouts with a touch of warmth or elegance. While not overly ornate, a purely minimalist approach without any cultural flair might feel too cold. Good use of whitespace is appreciated for readability and a premium feel.
- Images of people making direct eye contact are generally well-received and can convey sincerity and trustworthiness. Avoid overly Photoshopped or unrealistic body standards; authenticity is key.
Units & Measurements
- The metric system is exclusively used for all measurements. All dimensions, weights, and volumes should be presented in metric units.
- Clothing sizes primarily follow the European (EU) sizing system. For women, this typically ranges from EU 34-46; for men, it can be S-XXL or numerical sizes like 38-54 for trousers. Always provide EU sizes as primary, with conversion charts for UK/US sizes if targeting an international audience.
- Shoe sizes also follow the European (EU) sizing system (e.g., 36-46). Clearly display EU sizes and offer a conversion chart to US/UK sizes for clarity.
- Weight units are expressed in kilograms (kg) for larger items and grams (g) for smaller items or food products.
- Dimensions are typically expressed in centimeters (cm) for most products, with meters (m) for larger items. The order is usually Length x Width x Height (e.g., "25 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm").
Number & Date Formatting
- Date format is typically DD/MM/YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY. Example: "31/12/2025" or "31.12.2025".
- The decimal separator is a comma (`,`). Example: "1.234,56" (one thousand two hundred thirty-four and fifty-six cents).
- The thousand separator is a period (`.`). Example: "1.234.567,89" (one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven and eighty-nine cents).
- The Euro currency symbol (€) typically follows the number, often with a non-breaking space. Example: "99,95 €" or sometimes "99,95€".
- Time is usually expressed in the 24-hour format. Example: "14:30" for 2:30 PM. The week starts on Monday.
Color Meanings
- Red is strongly associated with sales, discounts, and urgency. It effectively draws attention to promotions and limited-time offers. For example, a red banner for "Rebajas" (Sales) or "Ofertas" (Offers) is highly effective.
- Blue, particularly darker shades, is widely recognized as a color of trust, reliability, and professionalism. It is frequently used by financial institutions, tech companies, and in corporate branding to convey stability and security.
- Gold, silver, black, and deep purple often signify luxury, sophistication, and high quality. These colors are effective for premium products, exclusive collections, or high-end services.
- Green is associated with nature, freshness, health, and hope. It can be effectively used for eco-friendly products, organic food, or wellness services. In a business context, it also implies growth and stability.
- While not strictly negative, excessive use of brown can sometimes be perceived as rustic or basic, unless used in a sophisticated palette to convey naturalness or warmth. Avoid using black or dark purple for generally joyous events, as they can sometimes carry connotations of mourning or solemnity.
