Translation does not just bring economic or monetary benefits, but it can also empower people by giving them access to the information they need. The translation is always a way to convey values. It’s a way of showing hospitality to foreigners as an instrument of equality, fairness, and dignity when it helps migrants integrate into their new country.

For the past two years, people have spent quite a lot of time binge-watching TV series and movies, following online courses, and even virtually visiting museum collections worldwide. Our consumption of this kind of content online has increased considerably as we have been forced to entertain ourselves within our own four walls. Needless to say, translation plays a vital role in enabling all this content to travel to audiences speaking different languages around the globe. the increased demand for content is mirrored by a proportionate rise in the need for translation both online and in the real world.

Marketing and advertising translations

Advertising and marketing translation is converting a product promotion or an advert that is designed for one audience into a format that will resonate with a different audience. The translation process includes not just the text of an advert but visual and audio elements as well. “Transcreate” is the term used for the process of blending translation and creativity. This requires special attention to the vocabulary choice and the media used in the promotion. Such translation requires a special linguist who has a great deal of the target language and someone who is aware of the target culture the marketing campaign aims at.
