Word Count
A standard measure of the size of an original or a translated text. Since word count can vary between languages, it is crucial to specify whether the per-word rate being quoted refers to the source or target language. In general, a Spanish document will be twenty percent longer than its English counterpart so, if you are translating a document from English to Spanish, make sure that the translation provider charges per source word. Also, in this way, you will know the cost for your translation project in advance.

Universal Spanish
A linguistic variety or that is considered a correct educated standard for the Spanish language. Standard Spanish is not merely Spanish adjusted to fit in prescriptive molds dictated by a linguistic overseeing authority, but also a form of language that respects the literary canon and cultural tradition.
