Cultural Adaptation

Named practice

Second Voice creates Spanish adaptations for English-first AI, educational, policy, and civic content—written to be understood.

Practice

Second Voice

Part of Cultural Adaptation and part of Acevedology. The name identifies the practice; it does not create a separate brand.

Most Spanish versions of English content were not written in Spanish. They were translated into it—and the difference shows. Stiff register, borrowed syntax, terminology that doesn’t land. Readers sense it immediately, even when they can’t name it.

I work with educators, nonprofits, community organizations, and small teams who need Spanish that reads like it was written in Spanish: preserving meaning, tone, and intent while making the language usable for the audiences you are actually trying to reach.

This is not automated translation. It is adaptation—informed by ten years of large-scale language evaluation, native Latin American Spanish, and ongoing research on AI and language systems across the Americas.

Ways to work

Two contained formats from the existing Second Voice practice: a done-for-you adaptation and a reusable team process.

Spanish Adaptation Sprint

Service 48-hour turnaround Starting at $350

You have English-first content—AI documentation, policy, educational material, or civic communication—and need a Spanish version that your audience will actually read, understand, and act on.

I take your document and deliver a publish-ready Spanish adaptation that keeps the original logic while making the Spanish feel native to the reader.

Good fit for: educators, nonprofits, community organizations, civic tech teams, and anyone producing AI or policy content that Spanish-speaking audiences need to understand and act on.

Starting price: $350 per sprint, up to approximately 2,000 words of source English. Larger or ongoing projects are quoted separately.

What you get

  • One publish-ready Spanish adaptation
  • Terminology consistency and a mini glossary of key terms
  • One QA pass for clarity and regional neutrality
  • One light revision
  • Five short Spanish snippets for social or email reuse
  • Delivery in 48 hours

Sprint inquiry

Include the type of content, approximate word count, topic, target audience, and any register or regional preferences. Price is confirmed by email before work begins.

Spanish Adaptation Toolkit

Need a repeatable process for producing Spanish that is clear, culturally fluent, and consistent—without reinventing the wheel every time?

Context

The practice and the longer inquiry

Second Voice is applied work. It also sits beside the longer-term Acevedology research on language access and culturally situated language systems.

The practical question is immediate: can a Spanish-speaking reader use the material on its own linguistic terms? The research asks how those terms are represented, evaluated, and made visible inside larger technical systems.
