Spanish translation for "also"?

Question

My understanding is that también, and asimismo can both be translated from Spanish as "also."

Yet there appear to be some subtle differences. What are they? For instance, does asimismo also mean "furthermore"?

also.

«también» cuando tiene valor de too o as well.
«además» cuando tiene valor de further, besides, moreover o additionally.

I would say that, most of the time, "also" is translated as "también."

"Asismimo" is normally used as "likewise" in English, which is also a synonym of "también."

Sometimes can be translated as "además" too.

@Laura, instead you could have said: 'Sometimes it can also be translated as "además".' ;-)
