"Jesus" is closer to "Yeshua" in Hebrew & Aramaic
Yet is translated into English
Translating a location name into the local language is pretty normal/common
The German bible renders it "Spanien" (https://www.biblestudytools.com/elb/romer/15-28.html)
The Spanish RVR reads "España" (https://www.biblestudytools.com/rvr/romanos/15-28.html)
In French, "l'Espagne" (https://www.biblestudytools.com/ost/romains/15-28.html)
Latin Vulgate, "Hispaniam" (https://www.biblestudytools.com/vul/romans/15-28.html)
Dutch, "Spanje" (https://www.biblestudytools.com/svv/romeinen/15-28.html)
Etc
So how is "Spain" a mistranslation in English bibles?
