Text Extraction

To the Editor:

English is the language of science1,2; therefore, in order to increase the visibility of publications, many non-English speaking medical (or other specialty) journals simultaneously publish their contents, in full text, also in that language.
This is the rule. However, the option of facilitating reading in the mother tongue of the large Spanish-speaking community in the world has led to such important editions as the Journal of the American College of Cardiology to publish its contents also in Spanish (http://www.onlinejacc.org/jacc-international/spanish).
Who could have the faintest doubt that the work of translators is of paramount importance?3. Howev-er, who would be best suited to translate medical texts: the specialized translator or the specialist who has studied translation? Actually, this is a rhetorical question, because both can do it reasonably well; we could not favor one opinion over another.
