Spanish-English
Two-language reference book
Spanish-English describes something that bridges the two languages, most often a dictionary or translation service: a Spanish-English dictionary, Spanish-English interpretation.
It can also describe bilingual contexts where both languages are used: a Spanish-English household.
The order typically indicates Spanish as the source and English as the target, though bilingual resources work both directions.
