La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que [...] dentro de los salpicones de marisco, el más apreciado, el más ilustre, es el de bogavante, [...] ese animalito al que los franceses llaman "homard" y los ingleses "lobster" y que los malos traductores pasan al español como "langosta", cuando, evidentemente, no se trata de langosta. 2, record 1, Spanish, - bogavante%20americano
