ABOUT SPANISHTECH
General Questions
What services does SpanishTech provide?
SpanishTech specializes in English-Spanish communications, localization, workforce training, healthcare communications, Learning Management Systems (LMS), safety and compliance communications, voice-over narration, educational multimedia, technical localization, and bilingual websites.
Our focus is helping organizations communicate important information to Spanish-speaking audiences clearly and effectively.
Do you only work with English and Spanish?
Yes. SpanishTech has specialized in English-Spanish communications since 2002. This focused specialization allows us to concentrate on language, cultural understanding, audience expectations, terminology, and the communication needs of organizations serving Spanish-speaking audiences.
Do you only work in Texas?
No. SpanishTech is based in Austin, Texas, and supports organizations throughout the United States. Many communications, localization, training, website, LMS, and multimedia projects can be completed remotely.
TRANSLATION, LOCALIZATION & AI
Language & Content Questions
Do you provide translation services?
Yes. Translation is an important part of our work, but it is often only one part of the communication process. Projects may also involve localization, content adaptation, voice-over narration, LMS integration, website deployment, technical implementation, and quality assurance.
Our goal is not simply translating words. Our goal is helping audiences understand the message.
What is the difference between translation and localization?
Translation converts content from one language to another. Localization goes further by adapting the content for its intended audience, taking into account culture, terminology, context, user experience, training objectives, and communication goals.
In many projects, localization helps make the communication more natural and useful than a direct word-for-word translation.
Can you review and improve existing Spanish content?
Absolutely. Organizations often come to us with Spanish content created by internal staff, bilingual employees, volunteers, automated translation tools, or previous service providers.
SpanishTech can review, edit, localize, improve, and quality-check existing content rather than requiring an organization to start over.
Do you work with AI-generated translations?
Yes. AI translation tools can provide a useful starting point for some projects. SpanishTech can review AI-generated content for accuracy, consistency, terminology, cultural appropriateness, technical correctness, and audience understanding.
This can be particularly important when the information involves training, healthcare, workforce communications, safety, education, or other content where misunderstandings can create problems.
Why use SpanishTech instead of relying only on automated translation?
Automated translation tools can be useful for informal communication and preliminary drafts. Important organizational communications, however, often benefit from human review for context, terminology, audience awareness, consistency, and quality control.
WORKFORCE & TRAINING
Training & Employee Communications
Can you translate employee handbooks and HR materials?
Yes. SpanishTech supports workforce communications including employee handbooks, benefits communications, HR policies, onboarding materials, internal communications, workplace procedures, and related employee information.
The objective is to help Spanish-speaking employees understand important workplace information.
Do you support Learning Management Systems (LMS)?
Yes. SpanishTech has extensive experience with LMS localization and training content. Projects can include course translation, Spanish curriculum development, voice-over integration, assessments, multimedia learning content, user-interface localization, and implementation support.
What LMS platforms do you work with?
SpanishTech has significant experience with Moodle and other Learning Management Systems used for workforce training, certification programs, onboarding, compliance education, and online learning. The exact role depends on the client’s platform and project requirements.
Do you provide Spanish voice-over narration?
Yes. SpanishTech provides Spanish-language voice-over narration for LMS courses, workforce training, healthcare communications, educational programs, safety training, community outreach, and multimedia content.
HEALTHCARE & SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS
Healthcare & Safety Questions
Do you work with healthcare organizations?
Yes. Healthcare communications have been an important part of SpanishTech’s work for more than two decades. Experience includes patient education, healthcare outreach, disease-awareness programs, wellness initiatives, medical communications, educational healthcare content, and bilingual healthcare websites.
Do you have experience with patient education materials?
Yes. SpanishTech has supported projects involving transplant patient communications, catheter-care education, healthcare-awareness campaigns, preventive-health initiatives, and community-health education.
Our role is communication and localization: helping make healthcare information understandable and useful for Spanish-speaking audiences.
Do you provide workplace safety communications?
Yes. SpanishTech supports organizations with the translation and localization of workplace safety communications, including toolbox talks, PPE materials, Lockout/Tagout procedures, equipment-use information, safety-awareness materials, workplace procedures, and other training and technical content.
Where materials relate to OSHA requirements or other regulatory standards, SpanishTech’s role is communications and localization support rather than legal, regulatory, or certification services.
WEBSITES & TECHNICAL LOCALIZATION
Digital & Technical Questions
Can you localize technical content?
Yes. SpanishTech has experience with technical localization involving XML resource files, websites, learning platforms, educational systems, technical documentation, software content, and interactive training systems.
Our technical background allows us to work with content inside many of the systems and formats where the translated information will actually be used.
Can you localize websites?
Yes. SpanishTech has been helping organizations develop and localize bilingual websites since 2002. Services can include website localization, bilingual website development, WordPress implementation, Spanish content development, and ongoing bilingual digital communications.
