English term or phrase: billion/trillion
Hola, estimado colegas quiero asegurarme de algo. Estoy traduciendo un documento traducido del árabe al Inglés donde se repite mucho billion/trillion. Pero comparando el documento original con la traducción me di cuenta que utilizaron Inglés británico.

en este caso billion y trillion en español sería billón y trillón en español

Ej: USD 3 billion (AED 11 billion)

Gracias
Sana Hilal
