Lately, we’re seeing an increasing number of people searching for translation software to translate Mexican Spanish to English text. We know our competitors very well but in this case we couldn’t help but notice we have none for Mexican Spanish. The translation tools available only translate Castilian Spanish and it’s not as accurate when you need to convert your text from Mexican Spanish to English or some other language.
Fact: Over 10% of the U.S. population is Mexican so that’s a total of almost 32 million people and still growing.
How is Mexican any different from Castilian?
Mexican Spanish is different from Castilian like American English differs from British English. There are many words in Mexican Spanish that Spanish-speaking people don’t even use or understand. For instance, the Mexican Spanish word for turkey is “guajolote” while the Castilian word for it is “pavo”. Juice is “jugo” in Mexican Spanish and in Castilian it’s “zumo”.
The syntax is also different. Take the following sentence: “I went to the market yesterday” In Castilian it would be translated to “He ido al mercado ayer” while in Mexican Spanish it would be “Fui al mercado ayer”.
