Transcreation | What is it?
Transcreation is the skilful combination of translation and creativity in order to convey messages appropriately for the respective audience. This type of translation service gets its name from the combination of two English words - “create” and “translate”.
The fundamental characteristic of this type of translation is that the linguist does not simply convey the meaning of the text literally, but adapts it to serve the intended audience.
Transcreation aims to use specific slang terms, cultural peculiarities, dialectal forms and connotations in order to ensure that the reader could sense the emotion and feeling intended by the author.
