Abbreviations and acronyms are generally translated as an extended term the first time they appear in the text and, in subsequent occurrences, it is fine to use the acronym.
Here is a list of some abbreviations to refer to: https://www.rae.es/dpd/ayuda/abreviaturas
It is very important to remember that acronyms do not take final stop nor are they pluralized. Besides, some of them (as “pyme”) have become common nouns. A one-to-one search has to be done in order to provide an equally valid acronym in Spanish. Please refer to https://www.fundeu.es/recomendacion/siglas-y-acronimos-claves-de-redaccion/.
