Health information in Spanish, Castellano
Para ganar, lo primero es entender = To win, one must first understand
ENGLISH is the “official language of science” which is great for those of us fluent in medical/scientific English, but a disadvantage for the millions of people for who Spanish is their primary language and who have to wait for life-saving and health-helping information to be translated, when and if that ever happens. This also applies to various other essential disciplines, including Psychology; many years ago I searched a large online bookstore for “psychology books” and found 40,000 in their USA-based store while their Spain-based store had only 4,000 for the same search conducted in Spanish.
CASTELLANO Castellano (Castilian) is the official term for Spanish used in the Spanish Constitution of 1978, but "español" (Spanish) and "lengua española" (Spanish language) are often used when referring to Spanish

Also, when information is shared on both platforms, I’ll try to include a link between the 2 versions in case something gets “lost in translation.” :-)
