es-ar: "bug" we usually mix technical words in English in the middle of sentences in Spanish. The correct word in Spanish is "error" (the phonetics is something like "eh-rrohr"), but it's a generic word for errors, not only software bugs.

My guess is that the other countries in America that speak Spanish use this mix, but in Spain they may use the translated version.

From my working experience in Spain, "error" is a more generic term. The word "bug" is commonly used to specify an error in the software.
