Carlos Roberto, very true. It always depends on the market you are writing for and also on the client.

I remember a funny story , a very good friend had to translate "mobile holder" and we suggested a lot except the one whe was obliged to use by the client: mobil-teniente. Jesus!!!

I would be quite unable to write for the Argentinian market, I am sure. I have also seen that Mexicans use a sometimes so different vocabulary that I think, answering the poster's question, it would be difficult indeed for a Spanish person to write a good translation for the Mexican market or the Argentinian one.
