Transcreation
Transcreation - the next level of Creative Translation
One of the most important ways to succeed in global and local ethnic markets is to speak the local language and then specific dialect of the target audience. It includes the usage of the right terms and expressions, tone of the voice, the style of the content that will engage the people, touch their hearts and souls. After all, research shows that people are 300% more likely to buy your product or service if information is available in their native language! And what happens if this is not done right? Well, this can mean major delays in product launch, marketing campaigns going wrong resulting in major embarrassment, damage to the brand, wasted time, effort and money, significant financial losses and missed opportunities. We compiled some examples to illustrate the point here.
Therefore, understanding the cultural nuances of the country or region and adapting the content to it is crucial. This process is known in the translation industry as transcreation.
Transcreation, also known as creative translation, is a process of translating the content from one language to another while maintaining the intent, style and emotional charge of the message. To put it simply, it means recreating the content in a foreign language as if it was originally created in that language. Unlike translation, the focus of the transcreation services isn’t on the exactness of the meaning of your text as in legal / technical documents, but rather it intends to provoke or inspire the target audience. Creating original and captivating content can be a difficult task in the source language, let alone the target one. Transcreation services are mostly used when translating and adapting marketing messages, product names, headlines, slogans, TV scripts, promoting brands, localizing video games, advertising campaigns and in other texts that require creative approach.
Effective transcreation requires trained linguists who understand all nuances of the source and target language and culture and are able to present them in the unique way.
