Usage Note

Link is an anglicism fully integrated into Spanish tech and internet discourse; the Academy-approved alternative is enlace, but link is by far more common in informal and online contexts. It is invariably masculine (el link) and its plural is simply links. In Latin America link is ubiquitous; in Spain both enlace and link are heard.
