The Spanish Group Sees 40% Increase in Q2 Revenue as Global Business Reacts to Tariffs
The Spanish Group, Certified Language Translation Service and INC 5000 Company
Accurate, Localized Translation Key as Trade Wars Increase Protectionism
The Spanish Group, an internationally recognized and ISO-Certified translation service, announced today that revenues are up 40% at the start of 2025's second quarter as business and personal clients prepare to absorb the impact of rising tariffs.
'Regardless of political stance or philosophy, our clients understand the need to respond quickly and proactively during periods of change and transition,' says The Spanish Group CEO Salvador Ordorica. 'The need for more focused, nuanced, and natural sounding translation will only increase in this market environment as both consumers and businesses buy locally in response to higher prices on imports and an increased sense of nationalism.'
While The Spanish Group is seeing increases across many languages, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish have been among the top requests.
Managing Communication During Turbulent Times
From immigration papers to documents related to business processes, there's a huge range of translation and localization needs as people adapt to new market conditions. Ordorica advises that careful localization and attention to cultural detail is key during times like these, recommending that businesses communicate:
Clearly—Let your stakeholders know the 'why' of any changes you're making, whether it's pricing or a change from an international to a domestic supplier. Ambiguity can be confusing and damaging to business relationships.
Quickly—Especially if you have to relay unwelcome news, it's critical that you don't delay. Whatever adjustments you're making will impact your suppliers and partners. Show that you respect them by keeping them in the loop.
Caringly—It's okay to be human. In fact, it's probably more important now that you let stakeholders know that you care about them and their wellbeing.
'Making sure that all of your translations are performed by locals who understand not only the language but the regional nuances is critical,' notes Ordorica. 'That's why our linguistic professionals are native speakers and deeply experienced specialists in a variety of fields

Eurostar is about to get competition. Here's why it's good news for travelers
This story was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). Passengers travelling to Europe by rail could see a raft of new train operators in the coming years. Eurostar — which has always had a monopoly on services between London and Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam — now faces the biggest threat of competition since it launched its first train through the Channel Tunnel in 1994. With the promise of more choice and lower prices, could this be good news for travellers? What's the latest? A handful of companies are vying for access to HS1 — the high-speed line between London and Folkestone — including Virgin Trains and Spanish start-up Evolyn in partnership with Italy's FS Italiane Group. Virgin is preparing to order a dozen high-speed trains to run through the tunnel. In March, UK start-up Gemini Trains announced it had applied for a train operator's licence and access to the tracks through the Channel Tunnel. It believes it could launch services in 2029, as do Virgin and FS Italiane Group/Evolyn. Why the sudden competition? Cross-channel rail travel has bounced back significantly since the pandemic, in part because of the surge in popularity of rail holidays prompted by environmental concerns. Eurostar recorded its best year in 2024, carrying 19.5 million passengers in total. The cross-Channel routes saw the biggest increases, with London-Paris up 280,000 and London-Brussels up 250,000. In January, the Office for Rail and Road (ORR), the regulator, also forced HS1 to cut charges for using the track from London to the Channel Tunnel in a bid to attract more operators to the route. All of this makes the prospect of more services attractive. 'The high-speed line connecting London and the Continent through the Channel Tunnel is one of the great rail routes,' says Adrian Quine, chief executive of Gemini Trains. Is there room for such expansion? London St Pancras Highspeed (LSPH), the company responsible for the London station and the high-speed track to Folkestone, has drawn up plans to triple capacity at the notoriously congested station. This would allow it to expand the international departure area and accommodate up to 5,000 passengers an hour — an increase from 1,800 an hour. In February, LSPH and Getlink, the French operator of the Channel Tunnel, agreed to work together to 'grow international rail connectivity between the UK and Europe'. Getlink has been vocal in promoting the fact there's plenty of spare capacity in the tunnels. In late 2023, its designers forecast that traffic would double over the following 10 years. What could it mean for travellers? The ultimate prize would be more destination choice and, with greater competition on existing routes, cheaper fares. Getlink hopes to see direct passenger services to Frankfurt, Cologne, Geneva and Zurich. Eventually, services could reach as far as Milan. Yann Leriche, chief executive of Getlink, says, 'We're keen to drive forward attractive opportunities for low-carbon [travel] with a range of new destinations in Germany, Switzerland and France.' Ministers have said that competition on the line would 'bring prices down'. They highlighted the effects of competition on the East Coast Main Line, where challenger operators like Lumo have driven down fares and increased passenger numbers. What are the hurdles? Any new operator would need permission to run on both sides of the Channel. Post Brexit, the process of obtaining clearance is more bureaucratic. Eurostar is also nervous that new entrants will hamper its plans to carry 30 million passengers by 2030. A row has erupted over access to the only UK rail maintenance depot on the high-speed route, which it says is at full capacity. The claim was dismissed in March by the ORR, which said that two of the depot's eight maintenance lanes are underused and could be allocated to the rival companies. Eurostar dismissed the regulator's report findings. It says, 'The options presented in the report could help create some capacity, but this wouldn't be enough to accommodate the stated ambitions of any single operator.' The hope is that the hurdles can be overcome. The results could be good news for travellers hoping to switch to rail — but it might be a long time coming.

Staff sues Seaport's Mecha Noodle Bar claiming wage theft
The filing is the latest in a series of local lawsuits brought by restaurant workers alleging wage theft as result of illegal tip pooling practices. Earlier this month, the state's Attorney General's office fined Montoya, who is from Colombia, said shortly after she began working at the restaurant, she found herself helping many of the Spanish-speaking kitchen staff sort out inconsistencies in their paychecks. She then started taking a closer look at her own paycheck and noticed that her tips were very low. Advertisement 'I never really received a full paycheck,' said Montoya, who has worked in the restaurant industry for nearly six years. 'Nobody really knew the math and the numbers were very inconsistent.' Advertisement This was all more more disconcerting to Montoya, she said, because the restaurant has a policy of 'They said they were donating $25,000 or $50,000 a month,' Montoya said. 'But no money for kitchen staff, servers, or bartenders... It felt weird. It just didn't make any sense.' The ramen chain was founded in 2013 in Connecticut by co-founders Tony Pham and Richard Reyes and has ten locations, including one in Brookline. Mecha promises affordable insurance, paid time off, and parental leave for its workers, and runs a foundation called Eat Justice, which donates a portion of the company's profits toward employee scholarships. After repeated attempts to ask for clarification, Montoya decided to sue, claiming in her filing that she 'frequently complained about not receiving all tips to which she was entitled' and that management refused to let her see the tip out sheets to verify where the tips were going. 'In the State of Massachusetts you have to provide someone payroll and employee records on request,' said Lou Saban, who is representing Montoya in the case. 'Their refusal is something I haven't encountered before.' Attorneys for Mecha did not return a request for comment. Janelle Nanos can be reached at

Mayor Bass offers support to downtown L.A. businesses
Mayor Karen Bass is moving quickly to shore up small businesses caught in the crossfire of recent federal immigration enforcement actions in L.A. In a rebuke of what she called the 'chaotic' and 'reckless' federal response, Bass announced today that the city is launching a series of multilingual virtual webinars to connect Downtown L.A. businesses with urgent assistance – from legal aid and funding access to graffiti cleanup and staffing support. 'For a week now, our city has been dealing with the fallout driven by reckless raids of Home Depot parking lots and the activation of federalized troops,' Bass said in a news release. 'They have no plan but chaos – but the city is prepared to deliver for downtown businesses who have been impacted.' The response comes as L.A. grapples with the aftermath of high-profile immigration raids and rising tensions in immigrant neighborhoods. The Mayor's Office has instituted a nighttime curfew (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.) following vandalism and looting incidents by what Bass described as 'bad actors' exploiting the crisis. The virtual assistance events begin today – Friday, June 13 – and will be held in English, Spanish, and Korean. The webinars aim to offer practical support for business owners navigating damage, legal confusion, and staffing disruptions caused by ongoing enforcement activity. Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, who represents the district, emphasized the need to stand strong for both businesses and the immigrant community. 'Our local businesses are the backbone of Downtown L.A.,' Jurado said. 'We will keep showing up for them – and for the people who make Los Angeles vibrant and strong.' DTLA Business Relief Webinars: Friday, June 13 | 1-2 PM Monday, June 16 | 1-2 PM Wednesday, June 18 | 1-2 PM👉 RSVP here Businesses can also request help with property restoration, legal rights, funding access, and more.
