This is probably the easiest way to sum up the difference: the more creative the text, the harder it is to translate. A straightforward translation is not enough for advertising copy and fictional texts in particular. Wordplays are unlikely to work and some jokes also get lost in translation. In this case, the text has to be adapted \u2013 in other words, it needs to be more or less rewritten in the target language. The term \u201ctranscreation\u201d is often used to describe this process, which is a blend of translation and creation. It\u2019s a very good way to sum up what this involves.<\/p>\n<h4>Traditional translations<\/h4>\n<p>As corporate communications are nothing if not diverse (we might have mentioned that once or twice already), we can also provide traditional translations for business use.
