I wanted to start this when it all would come back. As it did now, I'll start the topic.

When I bought a few mangas in Wales (of course, in english) I got impressed seing a lot of spanish expressions such as "Adios" or "Pronto". What I think it's most probably is that spanish is also a current language, especially in the south of USA, and a they were expressions everyone knows. However, I still can't realize why the editorials do this?? Maybe it sounds more...more something??

Heh I don't have a problem with it. I've seen this happen with anime too but again not a problem.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Many Spanish words are known by pretty much everyone. In such cases, they almost are english words, so the translators are just trying to use variety in their translations while still sounding normal.
