Learning a Bit About Creative Language Services:
If you’re currently running a business of any kind, in any region of the world and are interested in gaining new customers, increasing sales and boosting your brand recognition, you’ve probably heard of the term transcreation. Expanding your business internationally or to domestically diverse markets can give you a competitive edge. Mcdonald’s entered into the Chinese consumer market, however, had to undergo the process of transcreation prior to opening up shop. Their famously known tagline, “I’m loving it” was not a good fit for the Chinese market because culturally it’s offensive to use the word “love” in public. Mcdonald’s tagline was transcreated to say, “I just like it” as to appropriately appeal to the targeted local. Marketers today need to focus on personalized and tailored approaches that meet the emerging needs and wants that vary from culture to culture and language to language.
