Translation vs. transcreation

Translation is a process that converts text from one language to another. It’s the literal transfer of meaning from one language to another while remaining loyal to the original text to the greatest possible extent. Technical accuracy is the name of the game when it comes to translation.

By contrast, transcreation is a far more creative process that requires in-depth knowledge of the culture behind both the source and target language. It refers to a re-creation of the source text that takes the target audience’s beliefs, cultural values, and preferences into account. Transcreation is an approach that communicates the same message imparted by the source text in a way that is relevant to the target audience.

Tone, style, and emotion

Effectively preserving the original meaning of your content and conveying it to your target audience with the right tone and emotion is a hallmark of well-transcreated content. Transcreation carefully navigates a region’s verbal and non-verbal forms of communication, adhering to its beliefs and ideas while avoiding taboo topics or statements.

Transcreation also involves finding the right words to tell your brand’s story in another language. In other words, it’s a scrupulous and consistent process that helps establish credibility and create trust among your intended audience. It helps the reader fully understand the message in all its nuances.
