Internet use has increased among Latinos in California. Research has shown that many bilingual Latinos prefer to read information in Spanish. About 50 percent of Latinos online prefer Spanish language access, regardless of age. When provided with copy in both Spanish and English, many readers read both forms of copy. Online Latinos move from Spanish to English and back again in different moments of an interactive experience.

To help you provide quality content on your Web site to Spanish-speaking clientele, the ANR Communications Services Toolkit offers shared Spanish-language content on this page. You may freely use content found here on your ANR Web sites.

The first piece of shared content is a Blog de alimentos, shown below. If you would like to suggest other shared content resources, please fill in the brief survey at the bottom of this page.

Information in Spanish for people who eat

A team of ANR writers will post food-related information—from farm to table—three days a week on the English-language Food blog. The News and Information Outreach in Spanish team will adapt each of the posts into Spanish. Each post includes links to other ANR Web sites where readers can find more information. The Food blog is statewide in scope, and aims to be of interest to anyone who eats.

For more information about the Blog de alimentos, contact Ricardo Vela, (951) 827-4397, ricardo.vela@ucr.edu.
