Spanish Language Style Guide & Glossaries- Webcontent.gov - Guide to Managing U.S. Government Websites

Spanish Language Style Guide & Glossaries- Webcontent.gov - Guide to Managing U.S. Government Websites: "This new Spanish Style Guide is a resource for government employees, translators, and communications professionals who work with the government to improve the way we communicate with the public in Spanish. The guide contains information on grammar and style issues as well as glossaries to standardize the use of Spanish across government."

This resource might seem very tangential to trial advocacy, but consider that in the federal courts alone, there were nearly 200,000 "language-interpreting events" in Spanish last year. U.S. Courts press release, Nov. 14, 2006.
