What is transcreation?
Transcreation is, in short, creative translation. It is done by translators specialising in various languages and professional fields, who use their expertise to adapt your project to different cultures. This ensures your business proposals will be perfectly understood by your target market. The process of marketing transcreation is mostly used for advertising and branding materials.
What is a transcreator?
Professional transcreation specialists are usually writers more than translators; they use your original text as a springboard to create entirely new content that fits your needs so that it resonates with a different culture. They have more freedom than translators and tend to be more able to see the big picture. They step back, away from the words themselves, and focus on the emotion.

When should you use transcreation?
If your brand needs its messages to be culturally relevant for its target audiences, you must hire a transcreation agency to creatively translate the content instead of merely translating it. However, transcreation is not necessary for technical materials, since their meaning should be as close to the source text as possible.
