Overview
In this guide I will show you what the direct translation for each cap is, however, keep in mind that these won’t be literal because otherwise they wouldn’t make any sense at all and that most curse words will be censored because of Steam. Before we start, let me clarify what kind of Spanish is used in the game:The Spanish spoken in Resident Evil 4 consists in a mix between Medieval Castilian, Castilian and Spanish, hence why sometimes you hear the curse word “Cabrón” which is mainly used in Central American regions. Also note that there are some mistakes in the pronunciation, for example: “Puedes correr pero no puedes te escondir” is grammatically wrong, the correct way would be “Puedes correr pero no te puedes esconder”.
