Transcreation or advertising translation

Do we really know what transcreation is? Transcreation or advertising or creative translation —nowadays different names are used to coin this type of translation— is the translation of creative content, which usually takes place in the marketing and advertising world.

​More and more companies are using marketing as a tool to make themselves known through different ways, such as social media, because who nowadays doesn’t have a social media account or a website on which to advertise their products or services?

Therefore, any brand that wants to internationalise needs, at some point, a pinch of transcreation in their texts in order to convey the same message as in the original without losing the cultural essence. Moreover, in this way, aspects linked to the language of origin that are so precious in the world of marketing and advertising, such as puns, double meanings, humour, etc., are kept.

Tradness believes in the word's power and how it affects the target audience, which is why the maximum care is taken to ensure that the original message, written with so much love and effort, is not lost along the way.
