What is transcreation?

The term "transcreation" is a portmanteau of “translation” and “creation”, which is why this is also often referred to as "creative translation".

Transcreation is a marketing tactic that involves the adaptation of communication materials so that they can be used in a foreign market.

It must achieve three objectives:

  • Make the message understandable to the new target.
  • Maintain the marketing impact.
  • Arouse the expected emotion in the visitor, irrespective of the target market.

It's a creative process, one that applies to all aspects of a marketing campaign: slogans, adverts, logos, images, packaging, etc.

What is transcreation?

This word is a portmanteau that comes from combining the two English words "translation" and "creation". Transcreation, also referred to as "cultural adaptation", is most common in the marketing and advertising sectors. It involves adapting an advertising slogan, message or tagline to a new market.

Transcreation should convey just the right emotions to the audience in your target market.

It's a creative process. Copywriters often have to recreate the brand message entirely in order to effectively tailor it to the target market.

What is the difference between transcreation and translation?

Translation consists of transposing text from one language to another. The challenge the translator is faced with is to remain faithful to the source text, while adopting a natural, readable style.

Transcreation, meanwhile, necessitates more creative skills, because it involves recreating an advertising message for a target market, sometimes from scratch. Unlike translators, a transcreation specialist has the freedom to move away from the source text, as the primary objective is to convey the emotion present in the message.

Which components can be transcreated?

The following communication components are likely to be transcreated:

  • Slogans
  • Adverts
  • Images
  • Videos
  • Logos
  • Packaging, etc.

How do you ensure your transcreations are of the requisite quality?

There is no great secret to high-quality transcreation: it's vital to work with the best copywriters in the market.

The recruitment stage is crucial - we only hire experienced, native-language copywriters with a solid background in the advertising industry.

Why should I hire your agency to transcreate my content?

Beelingwa offers its clients a comprehensive and personalised level of support throughout their international expansion process, and adopts a results-oriented approach.

We create tailor-made solutions that are specifically adapted to the needs and constraints of each client. This is achieved courtesy of a meticulous pre-project analysis phase.

What is the purpose of transcreation?

Adapting your message to the socio-cultural particularities of your new target market has a number of advantages, including:

  • Creating a sense of closeness with users in your target market.
  • Avoiding faux pas and ensuring that your message will be well received.
  • Maintaining a positive brand image.
  • Instilling confidence in consumers in your target market.
  • Increasing the conversion rate.
  • Boosting sales.

What are the steps involved in transcreation?

At Beelingwa, the transcreation process entails four steps:

  • Analysis of the brand identity, source message and intended objectives.
  • Creation of a brief to guide the transcreation specialists.
  • Transcreation work, involving the provision of three to five proposals accompanied by back-translations and detailed explanatory notes.
  • Review.

What is the typical profile of your translators/editors?

So as to ensure a flawless, high-quality service, we only work with specific linguists:

  • Native-tongue translators/editors
  • At least 10 years of experience in transcreation and advertising translation
  • Impressed in our aptitude test
  • Continually evaluated by our reviewers
