Marketing translations
What to expect.
Translations in marketing are a significant challenge. Unlike other specialized translations, in marketing or PR, the focus is not so much on achieving identical terminology when transferring text into the target language. Rather, the advertising copy should have the same impact on the target audience as the original. The content is of secondary importance – especially when short, catchy slogans, wordplay, and double entendres are intended to be memorable. Therefore, marketing translations require considerable sensitivity and experience to ensure that the advertising effectiveness of the text is preserved in the target language.
With the right advertising message, you can build a good relationship with your international customers. A language style adapted to the target country prevents misunderstandings and strengthens trust in your product and brand.

A marketing translation adapts to the target audience.
The language used in any two countries contains countless differences. These are not only linguistic but also culturally determined. Idioms, allusions, puns, and even forms of address in marketing texts usually cannot be translated word for word into the target language. Consequently, the task in marketing translation is to get as close as possible to the advertising message of the original text without straying too far from the source material. The necessary leeway for the translator in this regard is undoubtedly one of the biggest differences in the field of marketing compared to other fields such as technology or law.
We adhere to the native speaker and target country principle, which is particularly effective here. The translator has in-depth knowledge of the target country's cultural context and can seamlessly integrate this into your advertising message. The translator does this without altering the original content. This is the only way to ensure your brand message and corporate culture are effectively communicated to an international audience after translation.

Marketing translation is the adaptation of promotional content into another language while preserving its persuasive impact, brand tone and relevance for the target audience.
Unlike technical or legal translation, marketing translation focuses less on literal equivalence and more on emotional effect, cultural relevance and audience engagement in the target market.
Cultural adaptation helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that slogans, wordplay, tone of voice and campaign messages resonate naturally with the local audience.
