Top 3 reasons why transcreation can take your company’s communication to the next level

What is transcreation?

Transcreation is the portmanteau of the words ‘translation’ and ‘creation’, and it refers to the technique of adapting communication between languages. Transcreation is also known as ‘creative translation’ as it goes beyond a technical translation. The central idea is to maintain the tone and sentiment of the source language when translating the information to the target language.

1: Communicate with your audience on a deeper level

By having your content be transcreated the translation agency working on your project will make sure to keep the emotion and intent you originally had. Furthermore, transcreation adapts that feeling to the target region, this way your audience will feel like the message is directed at them.

2: A marketing specialist will be a part of the transcreation project.

By having a marketing translation expert, you can be sure that your communication will be as effective as possible. Not only will your material have the appropriate language, but also the tone of a marketing translation, targeted specifically to your audience.

3: Adapting previous ad campaigns.
