Transcreation, how is it different to translation?
Transcreation is a process that goes beyond traditional translation, it is a creative adaptation of a message from one language to another, taking into account cultural and linguistic nuances, so that it retains its meaning, style, tone and impact.
Translation is the process of converting written text or speech from one language to another, while maintaining the same meaning, and making sure that the translated text is grammatically correct.
Transcreation, on the other hand, is a more creative process that requires a deep understanding of the target culture, audience, and medium. It involves reworking the source text to make it suitable for the target audience, while maintaining the same message, tone and style.
Transcreation is often used in advertising, marketing, and branding, where a message needs to be adapted to a new cultural context, so that it resonates with the target audience. It is a process that goes beyond just the language, it takes into consideration the cultural context, idioms, tone and style of the message, ensuring that the message is conveyed in a way that is appropriate for the target audience.
Translation is a literal transfer of words and phrases from one language to another, while transcreation is a more creative process that adapts a message for a specific cultural context, audience, and medium. Transcreation is important in ensuring that a message is conveyed effectively and resonate with the target audience.
