Hm.. You might try the translate widget?
You got a translate widget in Mac OS X 10.4 that could pull the task and there is always babelfish around.. But I guess best is just hand it over who speaks Spanish as native and could help you out with the matter..
For something that important
..as introducing a company, I would have a human translate for you rather than software.
Software translates word by word, in the order you type it. Software translation does not do ideomatic phrases (things understood in a language that have no literal meaning to other languages).
Just as an example of how easily things can get messed up:
In english, one would say "I am hungry"
In french, one would say "J'ai faim"
Right away, it might appear as there are no issues.
But there are none because I did not translate it literally, I translated it on my own. A literal translation would result in:
Je suis faim. (Suis = am). That phrase would meaning nothing to a french person - they wouldn't understand it.
French people don't say I *am* hungry...they say I *have* hunger.
That's only one small phrase. Imagine how messed up an intro could get!
Sorry I used french - it's the only foriegn language I speak well. But the very same concept applies (Spanish also uses "have hunger" rather than "am hungry").
Human translators are expensive, so you may want to find a friend or a friend of a friend, but it would be much worth it in the end ;)

Thing about french..
It's not a language.. It's more like a sound.. lol
Yeah, but you know, all
Yeah, but you know, all languages differ in dialect, word order, etc. Translating something word for word results in crappiness.
Exersize: go to BabelFish, write in a French site, select translate to English, and try to read it. If it makes sense to you, cool. But it's not correct English. This works the opposite way as well.
Totally agree.. Software
Totally agree.. Software translators do not deliver 100% correct translations.
I use "Sherlock", an application that is bundled with Mac OS X. It accesses SYSTRAN as a translation engine, and I usually test the translation for accuracy (Example: English to Spanish, then Spanish to English).
