There are nearly 500 million Spanish/Castilian-speaking people in the world and a huge percentage of them -300 million, in fact- reside in Latin America.
Latin American Spanish contains a huge array of dialects, including Amazonian Spanish, Andean Spanish, Bolivian Spanish, Buenos Aires Spanish/River Plate Spanish, Caribbean Spanish, Central American Spanish, Chilean Spanish, Colombian-Ecuadorian Spanish, Paraguayan Spanish, Peruvian Spanish and Puerto Rican Spanish.

All of these dialects have unique idioms, accents and vocabulary. For example, there are two completely different words used in Castilian Spanish and Latin American Spanish to refer to a computer -computadora and ordenador. Each of these words sounds incorrect when used in the wrong region. Differences like this make it extremely important to write for the intended target when translating from any language into any form of Spanish to ensure that your target translation sounds both correct and natural.
