Blockchain is a new and emerging technology that is at the heart of the Bitcoin protocol. The blockchain is a permanent, indelible digital log or chain of transaction blocks and represents the foundation upon which cryptocurrenices like Bitcoin are predicated. Blockchain is also a new technology based on a decentralized, distributed ledger. This term is being widely used, yet in translating from English to Spanish I see differing translations. Some use the term in it's English voice, as a personal noun, while in most Spanish-language articles that I have read 'cadena de bloques' is used. I have searched several Spanish-language dictionaries and none of them contain either "blockchain' or 'cadena de bloques'. It seems to me that no "official" word has yet been selected. Or am I missing something? I do a great deal of English to Spanish translation for the FinTech, Blockchain and cryptocurrency industry so any comments or suggestions from native speakers and professionals is invited and very much appreciated. My audience is worldwide but primarily Latin America.
