One of the challenges companies face in an increasingly global marketplace is crafting marketing messages and information to consumers in different parts of the world. As a result, many companies rely on translation services, which convert the written words of language into written words in another language.
The meaning of a message is more than just its words. How words are put together, whether they make sense in another culture, and how they resonate with the audience are not considered through translation. Sentence structure, what draws attention in the local market, and how to create the desired response from the audience are also factors that need to be considered over and above translation. To get this nuanced impact, companies need to use transcreation services.
What is Transcreation?
Transcreation is translation and creation together. It is not a word-for-word conversion of one language to another. Instead, Transcreation is the ability to render the original message’s intention, meaning, emotions, and style into a form that appeals to the targeted audience.
The most effective transcreation services use linguists who are also experienced in creative copywriting. These professionals are native speakers and understand the subtle differences in a specific word or phrase to convey the intended message.
Tips for Choosing Transcreation Services
When selecting companies to provide Transcreation, look for those with experience and expertise in working worldwide. In addition, companies should be able to complete work to your specifications and timeline, ensuring your localized messages are ready for your website, promotions, launches, and copy needs.
