Guinness World Records

Get transcreation services matched to your UK project

Our transcreation services are most commonly used by our UK and global clients to recreate their marketing materials and advertising copy.

That’s because transcreation is often the ideal way to translate these kinds of documents. But you can consider using it anywhere your message and its applicability to your new audience are more important than linguistic translation. This might include:

 

Tune your message to your audience

Your project will be handled by highly experienced professional translators who have a minimum of five years of experience and/or Masters degree-level qualifications in your industry.

Their industry knowledge combines with their local cultural understanding and creative expertise to allow them to reimagine materials from any industry, including yours:

    Engineering

    Electronics

    Life Sciences

    Banking & Finance

    Marketing & PR

    Legal

    e-Commerce

    Gaming

    Insurance

    Travel & Tourism

    Automotive

    Manufacturing

    What is the difference between translation and transcreation?

    Your original marketing was carefully crafted to appeal to your target audience at home. A direct translation of the words you used in your domestic advertising campaign won’t necessarily be as persuasive, relevant or appropriate to your new audience.

    Even expert localisation may not go far enough to adapt your materials for your new market. This is where transcreation services come in.

    Your transcreated materials might end up being quite different from your originals. We will work with you to produce a creative reimagining which focuses on:

    • Implicit meaning
    • Relevance
    • Emotive effect
    • Humour
    • Persuasiveness
    • Getting the response you want

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does my project require transcreation?

    If your project is related to marketing, advertising or creative writing, there’s a good chance that transcreation would be a good approach to consider.

    That’s because marketing text often references things like humour, society and culture. These references often need to be completely reimagined to achieve the same effect with a new audience.

    Should I ask for transcreation?

    You can, but you don’t need to. We can always provide free advice to make sure you get the results you are looking for, no matter what your project involves.

    In short, it doesn’t matter what type of translation service you ask for. We can recommend the best approach to get you what you need.

    Is transcreation suitable for brand names and slogans?

    Yes. In fact, brand names and slogans are two prime candidates for transcreation.

    They often include non-literal concepts and ideas which need to be reimagined for an audience with different points of reference. A direct translation of a brand name or slogan will often make no sense whatsoever. Or worse, it will make sense in a bad way.

    Is there anything transcreation is unsuitable for?

    Yes. For many projects, transcreation isn’t necessary. From instruction manuals to blog posts, a great deal of text isn’t likely to require complete transcreation in order to create an accurate or compelling translation.

    It’s only more creative projects – in which culture is often drawn on to lend meaning – where transcreation is likely to be invaluable.
