Amazon.com will now come in Spanish, too
The e-commerce giant's flagship site will offer a second language to appeal to Spanish speakers in the US.
Amazon has started to roll out the first new language on Amazon.com since the original site's creation over 20 years ago.
A spokeswoman for the Seattle-based online retailer told CNET on Thursday that the website has begun adding Spanish. The change will let the US' more than 40 million native Spanish speakers and over 10 million bilingual Spanish speakers toggle between English and Spanish on the site. The US is now the second-largest Spanish-speaking country in the world, after Mexico.
"Customers will be able to shop, browse and search for millions of products, view their shopping cart, and place orders in Spanish on Amazon.com and through the Amazon Mobile Shopping app," the spokeswoman said in a statement.
"We will continue to roll out the shopping experience over the coming weeks," the spokeswoman added. "More and more customers should expect to see the option to shop Amazon.com in Spanish soon."

The change comes as Amazon, the world's largest e-retailer, looks to attract growing Spanish-speaking audiences in both the US and Mexico. Amazon said Tuesday that it had launched its Prime subscription service in Mexico, letting customers there sign up for unlimited shipping for about $46 a year. Expanding into both markets could be critical for Amazon's growth, as the company may be reaching a saturation point for English-speaking Prime customers in the US. Analysts estimate US Prime membership has grown to more than 60 million people.
Looking to keep up its growth, Amazon brought Prime to China and India last year. The company also made Prime available in the US through a monthly subscription, in hopes of bringing in more members. Prime is also available in Canada, the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Japan.
The new Spanish-language version of Amazon.com comes in addition to Amazon.com.mx, which is Amazon's Mexico-based website that's already available in Spanish, and Amazon.es, the Spain-based version of the site. Other Amazon sites already offer multiple languages, such as Amazon.ca in Canada, which lets people shop in both English and French, and Amazon.de in Germany, which offers German, English, Dutch, Polish and Turkish.
A cluster of other foreign-language sites exist for different countries, including Amazon.fr in France.
In comparison, fellow e-retailer eBay said it doesn't have a Spanish-language version of its site for US customers. However, it has local-language sites like eBay.de and directs overseas shoppers on eBay.com to translated listings that are available in their respective countries.

Vice President Mike Pence greets members of the audience at a reception for the Organization of American States in the Indian Treaty Room at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington, Monday, June 4, 2018, as the Trump administration renewed its call Monday for the Organization of American States to suspend Venezuela and for other members to step up pressure on the country's government to restore constitutional order.

In the spring of 2017, a high level Trump administration official asked for details on how many Haitians with Temporary Protected Status were on public benefits, how many were convicted of “crimes of any kind,” and how many had been in the country unlawfully before being granted TPS. When told by staffers that this information wasn’t relevant to granting TPS and that the existing data “wasn’t good,” she continued to press ahead. She explained that the Homeland Security Secretary “is going to need this to make a final decision” that spring on whether to extend TPS for Haitians. They were granted the right to stay in the U.S. after a devastating 2010 earthquake. To critics of that decision, these emails, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, reveal an administration intent on seeking negative information to doom the renewal of TPS for nearly 60,000 Haitians. “Keep in mind that this is in no way relevant to dec
