Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'versión' the same as 'traducción' (translation)?
Not exactly. While a translation is technically one type of version (a linguistic version), 'versión' is much broader. 'Versión' refers to any distinct form, like a movie version, a software version, or an account of events. 'Traducción' is strictly changing a text from one language to another.
