seguimiento del envío
/seɡimjento del embio/from spelling rules
The English phrase "shipment tracking" can be translated into Spanish as seguimiento del envío.
This phrase refers to the process of monitoring the location and status of a package during delivery. You can also use seguimiento de paquete if you want to specifically refer to "package tracking".
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase seguimiento del envío is composed of seguimiento (tracking or follow-up) and del envío (of the shipment).
Which one should you use?
If you want to specify that you are tracking a single package rather than a general shipment, you can substitute del envío with de paquete to say seguimiento de paquete.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In many Latin American countries, the word rastreo is frequently used instead of seguimiento to mean tracking or tracing. Therefore, rastreo de envío is a common way to say "shipment tracking".
Did you know?
- In some shipping contexts, you might encounter guía instead of envío. A número de guía is the specific 'tracking number' used to follow a shipment's progress.
- The word seguimiento comes from the verb seguir, which shares a common root with the English word 'sequel'. Both words describe the act of following something that comes after.
