Questions

How many French-speaking translators are there in Spain?
We list 401, in 21 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Madrid, with 146 of the 401.
Is French unusual for translators in Spain?
21% of the 1887 translators we hold in Spain are recorded as working in French. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
