Content marketing across borders: transcreation vs translation
Most companies are unhappy with their current marketing translation services – are you investing in the right marketing localization strategy to scale your efforts?
Factual and accurate content
Standard translation is the ideal option for purely informational messages without cultural context or potential misinterpretations. It ensures factual and technical accuracy while maintaining a smooth and readable style.
A persuasive message in any language
For your brand's personality, simple translation won't suffice. Tone and context vary across languages. Professional translation services for marketing ensure a strong and relatable statement for the target audience.
Speaking to the heart of your audience
Transcreation considers cultural peculiarities to evoke desired emotions, actions and confidence. The creative approach recreates he impact of the source message, focusing on intent rather than technical accuracy.
Award-winning transcreation agency
Acolad is ranked #1 marketing transcreation services provider by CSA Research. Our expertise in multilingual content marketing was also recognized by the Global Content Awards 2021.
Frequently asked questions
New to transcreation and marketing translation services? We have answers.
Transcreation refers to the process of adapting and recreating content from one language to another while maintaining its intent, tone, style and cultural relevance. Unlike translation, which focuses on word-for-word or literal conversion, transcreation considers cultural nuances, idiomatic expressions and the overall impact of the original content on the target audience.
We can tailor small or large-scale advertising campaigns, highly creative slogans or marketing campaign copy in any language or format while maintaining the integrity of your global brand’s messaging and style.
When it comes to marketing content, a simple translation doesn’t always have the right tone, use cultural references or sound as funny/catchy/enticing in the target language. Our transcreation experts offer a specialized approach to language adaptation that goes beyond literal translation and aims to improve audience engagement and campaign conversion goals.
Trust our in-market transcreators to take care of your content and allow your local marketing teams to focus on their core priorities.
It's a fact, transcreation is more expensive than translation, but for good reasons. The research and creativity required to transcreate content takes longer than translation. However, the effectiveness of that transcreated content can return big time on that investment!
That’s why it’s important to know when to invest in transcreation and when translation will do. At Acolad we help brands do just that, so they can make their marketing budget go further and get the best results for their investments.
