As Global Migration Patterns Respond to Political Uncertainties The Spanish Group Shares Key Transformational Trends in Language

Accurate and Certified Multilingual Services Increasingly Critical in Countries Seeing Higher Migration Rates from the United States
IRVINE, CA - The Spanish Group, an internationally recognized and ISO-Certified translation service, is sharing key transformational trends in language as global migration patterns shift and more U.S. citizens leave the country.
More Americans Leaving the Country
A recent Talker Research survey found that 17% of Americans would like to move outside the U.S. in the next five years, and 2% already have plans in place. Expatsi, a company that provides relocation tours and expat resources, says that two-thirds of users who complete an online assessment want to leave the U.S. by 2026, with 12% saying they hope to move in the next six months.
'We're seeing sharp increases in legal, healthcare, and educational translations in particular due to global migration patterns,' said The Spanish Group CEO Salvador Ordorica. 'Countries like Canada, Germany, and Australia are leading this trend, focusing on multilingual services to support immigrant integration, patient care, and legal access.'
Dominant languages continue to be English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese due to major trading groups, with increasing demand for Hindi, Bahasa Indonesian, and Vietnamese as Southeast Asian markets expand.
Multilingualism Becoming a Business Imperative
'As companies enter new regions, they're realizing that English-only strategies limit market penetration. This will amplify demand for specialized translation, localization, and transcreation services that go beyond word-for-word translations to ensure brand alignment, compliance, and customer connection,' said Ordorica. 'Multilingualism is increasingly seen not just as a courtesy but as a business imperative, particularly in Asia and Africa.'
Importantly, Ordorica noted, African languages like Swahili and Amharic are also on the rise, reflecting the continent's growing role in global commerce.
'We're observing growth in requests for indigenous languages, such as Nahuatl from Mexico and Yoruba in West Africa,' he said. 'While they're not widely used in global trade, localizing in these languages creates powerful connections with domestic audiences, opens new consumer bases, and strengthens corporate social responsibility narratives.'

Former B.C. premier proposes housing on Granville Island amid financial challenges

Granville Island and the Granville Street Bridge are seen from the air in spring 2019. (Pete Cline / CTV News Vancouver) VANCOUVER, B.C. -- In a region where artist space is at a premium, Granville Island is an oasis of sorts, serving as a cultural hub for Vancouver. Where creative types like Emma Canning – who also goes by dirtspindle as an artist – can make a living while doing what they love. 'Me and my co-workers who run this pottery shop together, there's six of us and we're able to make a full-time living being artists because we're on Granville Island,' Canning told CTV News on Friday while working in the Kingsmill Pottery Studio Shop. 'That's incredibly privileged and lucky to be able to do, but this island gives us that opportunity.' The island has become a favourite spot for locals and tourists alike, but now needs hundreds of millions of dollars of upgrades, with major financial pressure building. Needed work ranges from fixing up the iconic Public Market building's roof to simple road maintenance. 'The $300-million price tag is an estimate based on everything,' Granville Island general manager Tom Lancaster told CTV News on Friday. 'That's sea level rise, it's all the renovations on our buildings, it's all the infrastructure, it's finishing the seawall around the island, and it's all the upgrades we need.' But with doubts the federal or provincial governments will write a cheque – some are floating alternative propositions. One of those voices is former B.C. premier Mike Harcourt, who played a crucial role in creating the Granville Island we know today while he was Vancouver's mayor – and got boos from the crowd at a recent event when he floated the idea of building housing while speaking on a panel related to the island's future. 'It's run down and it needs a lot of repair and it's not financially viable now, the Granville Island Trust, which is run by the federal government,' Harcourt told CTV News on Friday. 'Let's take advantage of the fact that there's lots of parking lots there sitting vacant now and to be financially viable, build some housing, some 10-, 15-storey buildings.' Lancaster said Canada Mortgage and Housing, which runs the island, has no plans at this point to build housing, but welcomed Harcourt pitching a creative idea. It's unclear what the future is going to look like for Granville Island is in the process of setting up a charitable foundation – which it hopes to launch next year to start building funds for the needed upgrades and repairs.

G7 leaders will get a 'truly Albertan experience' says Kananaskis lodge GM

A host of world leaders will land in Calgary this weekend before making themselves at home in one of Canada's prized natural gems for three days of discussion on economic instability, war, political relations and other matters of global importance at the G7 summit. Article content Guests have already begun arriving at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain lodge, according to Elizabeth Hovey-Smith, the lodge's general manager. For staff who have worked there for years, the next week will look quite different from the average work day. Article content Article content Article content For one, a controlled access zone has been created around the property by the Integrated Safety and Security Group, a multi-agency team lead by the RCMP that includes the Calgary Police Service, Alberta Sheriffs, provincial conservation officers and members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Article content Anyone entering Kananaskis Country requires accreditation, with different levels of permission afforded to people depending on their roles and requirement to enter certain areas of the lodge, Hovey-Smith said. Article content 'Normally, to get into K-Country, all you need is to register your licence plate and pay for your conservation pass,' she said. 'But now there are roadblocks.' Article content Staff are shuttled from the Stoney Nakoda resort and pass through several security checkpoints. Employees who want to hike in the region have to drive outside the zone. Article content Within the lodge, certain spots only allow certain employees, Hovey-Smith said. Article content 'I'm general manager, but that doesn't mean I get to go everywhere, because I might not need to,' she said. Article content 'Certainly, that's very different,' she said. 'That's not normal practice for us but very understandable, given the high-level conversations and people that are going to be attending.' Article content This year's summit, attended by leaders from Canada, U.S., Japan, France, Germany, Italy, France and the European Union — as well as invited guests from Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Ukraine — will focus on topics around economic instability and the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Article content The lodge is no stranger to hosting events of this political significance; it hosted the G8 summit in 2002, one of three events since the lodge was taken over by the Pomeroy group that it has hosted an event that it was completely taken over by a client, according to Hovey-Smith.
