Si, you are correct jalami. According to the US Census Bureau, about 10 million native Spanish speaking individuals currently live in the USA. This number is on the rise. Although there is a huge market for websites written in languages other than English, still less than 1% of all US websites are offered in Spanish. That percentage is even smaller for other languages.
"Use of the Internet is surging among U.S.-based Hispanics, says comScore Networks – so much so that although the group represents only one-third of the total U.S. Hispanic population, it’s 11% larger than the total online population of Spain and 4% larger than the total online population of Mexico, Argentina and Colombia combined." (comscore)
Translating to Spanish is a good way of staying ahead of the competition.
