Developing content that suits different markets, languages and cultures require a number of techniques and skills. It is not just about translating the content from one language to another. For a brand to be a global success, every piece of content at every stop of the global journey has to be culturally appropriate and relevant. For this, both translation and transcreation techniques must be used the right way. However, often these techniques are used interchangeably, but these are not identical processes, although they are related.

Transcreation Vs Translation: How they are different?

When it comes to creative pieces, translation goes a step further and this is where transcreation comes into the picture. To put it simply, transcreation is a creative translation that uniquely customizes the content for your target audience while maintaining its intent, style, tone, and context. A technique which is beyond grammar and towards feel!

Translation, on the other hand, requires conceptual exactness and terminological precision. It focuses more on the words, grammar and the tone of voice and conveys the same written communication from one language into another.

While the former translates the emotions, the latter translates the meaning!
