Have you heard of transcreation?
While localization adapts a translation to a new market, transcreation is the art of recreating content from one language to another. This process helps you connect on a deeper, more intimate level with your prospects or clients. It’s especially beneficial for taglines and mission statements that don’t directly translate into another language; they must be completely recreated to form a similar message and feel in the target language/culture. Transcreation is typically involved in some capacity of a localization project.
