What is Transcreation?

Transcreation is a combination of professional translation and professional copywriting. As Nina Sattler-Hovdar points out, the "professional" component is important in both cases.

She suggests those trained in both need to be able "change hats" as needed and as the client needs dictate - giving a great advantage to the clients end product.

For translators, there are advantages of adding transcreation to their skill stack and service portfolio.

Transcreation allows for (and requires) more direct contact with the client, and can create a real sense of value for the transcreator regarding what they are adding to the project.

Additionally, transcreation tends to allow for the use of more creativity (as it's name suggests!) and is much less about a per-word price and much more about helping clients by creating innovative texts that encourage customers to take action.
