Grabbing and keeping the reader’s attention is arguably the most important thing when it comes to marketing translations. With the high volume of on and offline text and print in today’s world, engaging the reader’s attention is no easy task – which is where specialised marketing translators come in very handy. They can tailor your content to make sure it’s error-free, easy to read, interesting and informative.

Your business may need to produce a range of communications, from product manuals and brochures to e-commerce websites, social media posts and e-marketing. Translation – the art of rendering a text in a different language – is fine for a user manual where the information needs to be structured accurately and concisely, but when it comes to marketing e-mails and taglines, what you need is transcreation: the ability to understand the local culture and render the underlying associations and meanings into the target language.

Translation is most successful when it is a collaborative process. By working together with your translators and copywriters, providing them with glossaries and reference materials, you can not only be sure of an accurate translation, but you can also improve the quality of your communications as your project managers gain a greater understanding of your specific business. What’s more, using a translation management platform such as TransCloud can significantly reduce the risk of confusion, by centralising your key terminology which is always ready to be used by you, your dealer in the target country, your communications and translation providers.

• Maintaining consistent terminology

  Multilingual communications need to be consistent across all channels, from marketing materials to technical content, to avoid confusing your customers.

• Producing high-quality source content

  Well-structured source content improves the quality and speed of the translation. Which means lower costs and faster time-to-market!

• Using expert human translators

  We use professional translators with years of experience in your field.

• Knowing the difference between translation and transcreation

  Translation is all about getting your message across in a different language. But transcreation requires a different approach: the source content has to be looked at creatively, to fully transfer the cultural meaning behind your words.

• Working with your translation provider

  Cooperation is key: answering the translator’s queries and providing reference material are important in establishing a smooth workflow and ensuring a quality translation.

• Being aware of cultural nuance and idiom

  When designing a product or writing content, remember that nuance and idiom can have a real impact on your image in a local market.
