Hi, Oana:
In my opinion, the translator should translate an English text into the Spanish register he or she is used to, because if not, any attempt to immitate other usage of Spanish would sound far-fetched or, at least, artificial. Imagine a Mexican translator trying to reproduce the Spanish from Madrid, for instante. Personally, I wouldn't even try to do that, because there are a lot of terms, idioms and even slang words known to the people from Madrid that few others know how to use.
Yes, the grammar is practically the same both sides of the Atlantic, but the exceptions are many. For instance, Guatemalans use the "voseo" in a different way than Argentinians do, Mem, and, as far as I know, Uruguayans and Chileans also use the "voseo", only I don't know if they use it exactly as Argentinians do.
I remember a character in Terenci Moix's Garras de Astracán. He, a Spanish author, presented in his novel a Mexican character, a very talkative woman. Her dialogues seemed very artificial to me, every time I read them I thought "We don't speak that way". That's the danger of using a register you're not used to, that is to say, of trying to imitate the form of speech of people from a country which is not yours.
As a conclusion, I would do as Mem suggests: write as an Argentinian, but if your not from Argentina, before publishing your work, ask an Argentinian to proofread your work and make it sound as natural as possible. The same goes to every Spanish variation. Otherwise, better stick to standard Spanish.
Saludos.
