What the service is for
Marketing copy has to work, not just be understood
Marketing translation adapts customer-facing content for another language and market while protecting the original message, tone and persuasive purpose. The right approach may combine accurate translation, localisation and transcreation depending on how creative the source content is.
That distinction matters for campaign copy, advertising, brochures, brand messaging, product descriptions and web content. A phrase that is technically correct can still feel flat, awkward or culturally out of place if it is translated without considering the audience.

Choose the right level of adaptation
Translation, localisation and transcreation are not the same thing
Different assets need different levels of creative freedom. The aim is to use the least disruptive approach that still makes the content work naturally for its target audience.
Translation
Best when meaning can stay close to the source. The content is translated accurately while maintaining appropriate terminology, tone and context.
Localisation
Best when the market matters as much as the language. Wording and presentation are adapted so the content feels natural for the intended region and audience.
Transcreation
Best for creative or persuasive messaging. Headlines, slogans or campaign ideas can be reworked to preserve impact when a literal translation would weaken the message.
Protect the brand voice
Give the linguist the context behind the words
Marketing copy is easier to adapt well when the project includes the intended audience, brand direction and any terminology that should remain consistent.
- Share brand or style guidance where available.
- Identify the target country, region or audience.
- Flag slogans, product names and protected terminology.
- Explain the purpose of the page, advert or campaign.
Digital marketing & localisation
Keep online content natural across markets
Digital marketing often overlaps with website localisation. Pages, landing content, ecommerce copy and online messaging may need language adaptation as well as adjustments for regional expectations and brand consistency.
For a larger digital project, send representative files or URLs with the source and target languages, intended audience and required delivery format. The team can review whether the work is best handled as marketing translation, website localisation or a combination.

- Landing pages
- Ecommerce copy
- Online customer messaging

Frequently asked questions
Questions about marketing translation
Practical answers to common questions about creative, brand and digital marketing content.
What are marketing translation services?
Marketing translation adapts customer-facing content from one language into another while considering the original message, tone, brand language, target audience and cultural context. Depending on the content, the work may involve translation, localisation or transcreation.
How is marketing translation different from standard translation?
Standard translation may stay relatively close to the source wording. Marketing translation gives more attention to persuasive purpose, brand voice and audience response, so the final wording feels natural rather than mechanically translated.
What is transcreation?
Transcreation is creative adaptation used when the effect of the message matters as much as its literal wording. It can be useful for slogans, headlines and campaign copy where a direct translation would lose impact or cultural relevance.
What marketing content can you translate?
Current service information covers advertising and campaign copy, brochures, catalogues, promotional material, brand messaging, product descriptions and web content. Send other marketing assets for review if they are not listed.
Can you help keep our brand voice consistent?
Brand tone, key terminology, slogans and audience are considered as part of marketing translation. Providing a style guide, glossary or previously approved content can give the linguist useful context for consistency.
Can you help with website and landing-page content?
Yes. Best Language Service also provides website localisation for website pages, landing pages, ecommerce content and online customer messaging. The team can review whether your project is best handled as marketing translation, localisation or both.
What should I send for a quote?
Send the source content or a representative sample, the source and target languages, the intended audience or market, your preferred deadline and any relevant terminology, style or formatting requirements.
Do marketing materials need certified translation?
Marketing content is normally handled as standard, creative or localised translation rather than as an official certified document. If a wider project includes formal documents that require certification, those can be reviewed under the certified translation service.
Start your project
Have marketing content ready for another market?
Send the files or project details with the source language, target language, intended audience and preferred deadline. The team can review the scope and provide a quotation.
