How do you say "take into consideration"?

Question

I'm not sure if to "take into consideration" can be directly translated in Spanish or not, but I was wondering if there was something similar that could be said.

Answer 1

We would most likely say:

tener en cuenta

So tener en cuenta is the more common or are they interchangeable? And is there a difference between Latin America and Spain? Thanks. - Encalada, Mar 28, 2011

Answer 2

For once, an almost literal translation works from English to Spanish - tomar algo en consideración. However, try typing consideration into the translation box for more suggestions on how to use it in Spanish.
