Transcreation
When creativity and message impact are the priorities, rather than mere content accessibility to foreign language speakers, MLS offers transcreation. Transcreation is a research-based, highly creative and collaborative process utilized to create the most resonant and impactful messages for specific target audiences. It includes culturally, linguistically and technically conveying the intended meaning of original-language content items such as an images, slogans and other key brand messaging in a foreign language. The process builds on the creative work of original-language stakeholders and its success is based on the application of a deep-rooted understanding of a target audience’s current values, attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, behaviors, and contemporary language usage; expertise in the field of marketing and advertising; and industry-specific management know-how. Our interdisciplinary transcreation teams are comprised of not just professional translators, but also creative writers, in-country cultural experts, reviewers and copywriters.
