CONNECT, ENGAGE & CONVERT WITH OUR TRANSCREATION SERVICES

Effective transcreation allows you to reach your audience in the style of language they are accustomed to. Transcreation – the most adaptive form of translation – connects with readers at a deeper cultural level to achieve better engagement.

What people are saying about us

We required swift cooperation and turnaround. Dialogue were brilliant in advising on timings for each stage of the process, from the initial briefing right through to final delivery of the transcreated copy!

Examples of when Transcreation is required

When HSBC launched the campaign in 2005, ‘Assume Nothing’ into new markets, they made a huge oversight. Their tagline, which they had been using for over 5 years, mistranslated to ‘Do Nothing’ in many territories, including China. It cost HSBC £6.8m to rectify the problem.

Mercedes Benz had a tough start to life in China with a poorly translated brand name. The luxury car giant entered the Chinese market under the name of Bensi, which actually means “Rush to your death” in Chinese.

Transcreation FAQs

We recommend transcreation for heavily creative content; e.g. if you need to adapt an advertising slogan, image or brand to work effectively in new markets then this is the way to go. It is the adaptation of text and images not just into another language but for another culture. 

Transcreation is charged on an hourly basis (from £60 an hour) as adapting branding/slogans/creative content will depend on the complexity of the brief. You will be given guidance on costing at the briefing stage.

Transcreation involves the adaptation of creative content for a different country and culture while copywriting is the generation of new creative content from scratch.
