Converting excel currently in english to spanish

[Guest]

I'm built a spreadsheet that's currently in english. Is there a way that
when I send it to my spanish counterpart the spreadsheet automatically
converts to spanish when they open the english version?

It will be "converted" automatically; Excel stores workbooks in a
language-independent "language"
There are a few exceptions: functions from Analysis Toolpak will not be
translated and you may experience problems with literals, like formatting
codes in TEXT functions, addresses in R1C1 reference style in INDIRECT
functions, etc.
But most "normal" functions and formulas will be converted correctly.

Could you please be a little more specific, so that others might be
able to respond or help you resolve this issue quickly and easily.

How can I verify that it converts? I've tried to change the regional options
to spanish but it won't convert the excel file to spanish when I open the
file.

Any suggestions?

For example I have the date function and would like the day to be in spanish
instead of text like Sabado instead of Saturday.

You need a Spanish version of Excel to verify that.
