I can’t even count how many fics I’ve x’d out of using random spanish just … our of nowhere, clearly taken from a google translate.

I know. And it's really frustrating, because I am enjoying a story and really interested on how the characters are behaving, how the events are unfolding to suddenly... see my language being portrayed in such disrespectful way. I am not saying that anyone who wants to include Spanish in their fanworks while being a non native Spanish speaker, has to be extremely proficient and have a native-like understanding, knowledge and grasp of the Spanish language (and considering the amount of Spanish varieties and dialects it would be actually pretty difficult to be proficient in all varieties and know every single thing there is to know about the Spanish language). What I do think is that people need to be mindful of what they are doing, and they need to be respectful. It doesn't take much, proper research online, asking a native Spanish speaker, NOT using a translator, visiting language reference forums and websites (there are literally entire websites dedicated to translations, contrastive analysis between two languages, etc). Wordreference forums are honestly amazing and people help each other out every time, and you have a handful of native speakers of any language providing you with several options. There are tumblrs dedicated to this as well, there are even native speakers of the target language one wants to use in their fics in virtually every fandom... there are more than a handful of ways to actually portray and use the language (Spanish or any other) respectfully.

If someone chooses to make a copy and paste of Google translate... I can't believe we have to be saying this but online translators (unless they're in context and contrastive, like for example Linguee is) are not reliable. They might be the starting point, but they are not the answer. Languages don't work like that, lexis doesn't work like that and most certainly idioms don't work like that, let me give a random example:

-Let's suppose I want to say it's raining a lot, in English (not making any distinctions between varieties nor whether it is an old-fashioned expression or not) I can use, among a lot of other options, "it's raining cats and dogs". Now, if I wanted to use the same idea but in Spanish, and I wanted to say that it's raining a lot too, I can't just translate that very same expression and go "están lloviendo gatos y perros" because our idioms for that are not a direct transfer of English idioms (apparently a lot of people assume languages function as transfers of another language, but I am derailing). For example, you can find the expression "llueven sapos" (literally: it's raining toads) or "llueve a cántaros" (literally: it's raining by anphoras). And as far as I know, no English speaking person upon seeing it's raining heavily goes "OH MY— IT'S RAINING BY ANPHORAS!"

And there's a whole another angle regarding the imbalance of power between languages in the English vs Spanish equation, which has to do with the role of English as an imperialistic language, but Phillipson, Kumaravadivelu and countless other linguists have talked about it better than I ever could (for obvious reasons, primarily provided the fact that I am not a linguist) in a tumblr post.

If I can spend over an hour looking for idioms and checking collocations whenever I write in English, what's stopping non native Spanish speakers of extending the same care with the treatment of a language it's not their mother tongue or one they are not proficient in?

I spend a lot of time checking if my use of English, especially when characters speak, matches that of English speakers (whichever the background). Is this something they may use or say? Does it sound natural? Does it ring a bell? I literally go back and forth, listening carefully to how characters speak in movies, tv shows, even check English-speaking youtubers.

If I can go through all that trouble, why can't others do the same when including a dialogue line in Spanish?
