Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical (general) / Receipt for Dental Service
Spanish term or phrase: (Sp)
The following appears in the detail line of a receipt for a dental service in Costa Rica:

Código Descripción Cantidad Precio Unitario ...
531 Tratamiento Odontológico 1.00 (Sp) 650.00 ...

I am unsure what "(Sp)" is intended to indicate in this context. Can anyone help?

Cheers,
John
