"Spanish Culture" en español
One of the forums here is titled "Spanish Culture/Cultura," thereby neatly avoiding a translation problem. If we directly translate the English, we get "Cultura Española," but that, of course, isn't right, because the English doesn't mean "the culture of Spain," but "the culture of the Spanish language."
So I wonder what the best translation would be for this forum. Would it be "Cultura Hispanohablante"? Or maybe "Cultura de Castellano"? Neither of those sounds right to me.
Any ideas'

I think, when you say "cultura española/latina" that covers all areas of Spain or Latin America life, nevertheless, if relates specifically to language could be apropiate "Spanish Language Culture" (Cultura de la Lengua Española), in this way, for a spanish speaker doesn't means language of Spain, but Spanish language.
This is just a "hispanoparlante" reflection.
Yes, that could work, and Gustavo's idea is good, too.
BTW, did you ever think that using the word "Latino" to refer to those whose heritage includes speaking Spanish is really kind of odd? The word Latino comes from Latin, which was originally a tribe of people (from Latium) who were the ancestors of the ancient Romans. So, Latino should refer to anyone whose native language is directly derived from Latin, such as French, Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanians. What we call Latinos should really be Hispanics, I guess. Just musing...
cultura de los latinos might be one way. just my guess
