Letter from the Editor

Welcome to the special trilingual edition of the Ccaps Newsletter!

This month, we have decided to focus on the Spanish-speaking world and see what is happening with our neighbors throughout the Americas. The special feature of this edition is that each of the articles appears in Spanish in addition to our standard Portuguese and English pair, languages in which Ccaps has become highly proficient.

How is the Spanish language molded to a new vision with so many existing variations? In her article, María Angeles Prieto describes the growth of Spanglish among the U.S.-based Hispanic population and the difficulties encountered when translating for this very unique group.

Two important events will take place in the city of Rosario, Argentina during the month of November: the III International Spanish Language Conference and the International Translator’s Meeting. María Gabriela Morales tells us about these events that will discuss the importance of constantly adapting the Spanish language in a globalized world.

While preparing this edition, we had a very pleasant surprise: MultiLingual Computing & Technology had also published a supplement about the Spanish market that included some fascinating articles. John Yunker’s text was reproduced here to enrich this month’s Newsletter.
