Love in any language is still love! However, there are many different languages and authors of course want to bring their books to the masses!! Book translation is something that should be part of every author's business and marketing strategy! By globalizing your book, your rankings will improve and so with the revenue margin! Now which language to select from? Well... numbers say a lot and are definitely a factor in making decisions especially when there is a business cost associated with making the decision to translate your book. So here are some important statistic/numbers for you to consider translating your books and your audiobooks into SPANISH!!

Obviously there is an upfront cost to you as the business (the author) when translating your books into Spanish as well as having the title produced as an audiobook (in any language). As the saying goes "You need to spend money in order to make money!" Translating your books leads to more sales. However, using google translator is NOT advices!! Neither is having a friend who knows Spanish! Translating is more thank switching the words from English to Spanish (or any other language)! The are ideas and emotions that need to be conveyed properly!! There are grammatical rules and accent marks and OH MY!
Working with a professional is what I would recommend and when it comes to Spanish translation I suggest

About The Owner
Technology provides tools that allow people from all over the world to search and understand the meaning of a word or sentence in a language that they don’t speak.
However, these tools aren’t able to interpret the emotions and feelings behind them, the same way a reader can.
Our company is comprised of professionals who are also avid readers and audiobook listeners that understand what the Spanish market is missing and craving: Quality romance novels’ translations along with great Spanish audiobook performances.
With this in mind, our top priority is to bring the story you already wrote in English to the Spanish speaking community, without it getting lost in translation.
