Helpful Tips:
Context Matters: Ensure the message's tone is appropriate for the recipient. While Google Translate is quite accurate, it may not always capture subtleties or specific terms correctly.
Proofreading: If possible, have a Spanish-speaking colleague or employee proofread the translation to ensure accuracy, especially for sensitive HR-related communication.
Formality: Spanish has both formal (usted) and informal (tú) pronouns for addressing people. Make sure you're using the correct form based on the recipient's role and relationship to your company
