Pérez Art Museum Miami Implements Comprehensive Spanish Translation Strategy

The Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) has established a framework for Spanish translation to cater to the city’s multicultural community, where approximately 70% of residents are Hispanic or Latino. Both the museum's website and its resources are available in English and Spanish, showcasing exhibitions and collections. Digital content primarily uses Mexican Spanish, while Caribbean terms are applied for displays featuring artists from Cuba, Puerto Rico, or the Dominican Republic. The translation initiative commenced with bilingual signage and exhibition labels, alongside interpretation services for American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. PAMM partners with skilled translators and adopts an informal 'tú' to create a friendly atmosphere. The translation efforts adhere to best practices and are reviewed in bi-monthly meetings.
