The Spanish Group Gives Retail Industry Language Translation Pointers for Countering Market Confusion
A Certified International Language Service Offering Translation in 123 Languages. Connecting Through Language is Key to Supporting Market Growth, Cementing the Two Rs of Retail IRVINE, CA - The Spanish Group, an internationally recognized and ISO-Certified translation service, is sharing pointers for cementing relationships and revenue — the 'Two Rs of Retail' — to counter market confusion and constriction as unclear U.S. tariff policy impacts global trade. 'Global tensions and unpredictable tariffs involving China and Eastern Europe have led U.S. retailers to reevaluate sourcing strategies. Many are shifting to near shoring options in Latin America or Southeast Asia,' notes The Spanish Group CEO Salvador Ordorica. 'In any new market, accurate and culturally intelligent language becomes a strategic asset that helps reduce friction and ensure smoother operations across borders.' According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), the U.S. import market reached $3.2 trillion in goods in 2023. Consumer products from electronics to toys experienced a surge in Q4, with over 30% of retail imports arriving between September and November. 'The approaching holiday retail season makes language even more critical. Poorly translated manuals, labels, or customs declarations can delay entry or trigger returns, cutting into the most profitable quarter of the year,' says Ordorica. 'Quality language services reduce those risks.' Use Your Words Misunderstandings in supplier contracts, customs documentation, or compliance materials can lead to delays or financial penalties, especially during the holiday peak. Ordorica's tips for using language to improve retail and ecommerce success include: 'Language is a form of connection. When you speak to a customer in their preferred language, you are saying: We see you, we value you. This builds trust, encourages repeat purchases, and reduces friction,' says Ordorica. 'Brands that invest in accurate, localized messaging see higher engagement and stronger loyalty, especially during emotionally driven seasons like the holidays.' Forging New Paths For business owners wondering how to prepare for the uncertainty, Ordorica recommends: About The Spanish Group Founded in 2013 by Salvador Ordorica, CEO, The Spanish Group is an internationally recognized ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 certified translation service offering 123 languages and unparalleled language precision, localization, cost effectiveness, and efficiency.

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.
