FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between translation and transcreation?
Translation converts text faithfully to another language. Transcreation goes much further recreating creative ideas, taglines and brand voice so the message has the same emotional impact in every market. Translation aims for accuracy; transcreation aims for resonance. We offer translation, localization and transcreation as distinct services.
Which markets do you transcreate for?
Our transcreation services cover 11+ core languages including English, Russian, German, French, Polish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian. Additional markets (30+ languages) available on request.
How long does a transcreation project take?
Standard turnaround for transcreation projects is 3–7 business days depending on scope, brand-voice complexity and number of markets. Campaigns with extensive copy or multiple creative concepts may run in phased sprints — we provide a timeline with every quote.
Do you adapt taglines and brand slogans?
Yes taglines, slogans and brand campaigns are core transcreation work. Our creative writers preserve the strategic intent while recreating the wordplay, rhythm and emotional appeal of your copy in each target market.
Can you work directly with marketing agencies?
Yes. We work as a creative extension of agency teams fitting into your briefs, deadlines and revision cycles. Our transcreation services for agencies typically cover multi-market campaign rollouts, regional adaptations and brand-voice consistency.
How do you preserve brand voice across markets?
Every transcreation project starts with a creative brief that captures your brand voice, tone and visual context. Native copywriters work within these parameters while adapting copy culturally. A senior editor reviews each market to ensure brand-voice consistency before delivery.
What's your pricing model?
Transcreation is project based pricing depends on creative scope, number of markets, brand-voice complexity and rounds of revision. Request a custom brief and we respond within 24 hours with a tailored quote.
What's the difference between transcreation, translation, and localization?
Translation converts text word-for-word between languages while preserving meaning — best for legal documents, technical manuals, and contracts. Localization adapts content for target markets including UX strings, cultural references, date formats, and units — best for SaaS platforms, gaming, and product content. Transcreation recreates creative and emotional impact from scratch per market — best for taglines, slogans, advertising campaigns, and brand storytelling where word-for-word accuracy matters less than cultural resonance and emotional connection. We offer all three services and often combine them within a single global campaign. leo.
