Localization

The service we offer our clients is not merely one of translating the raw meaning of a text into another language. Our aim is to deliver texts that read as if they were written in the target language. The translations must convey not only the meaning of a document, they must also be written in the same style, carry the message and spirit of the source text and be sensitive to national and cultural nuances in form and meaning in the target language.

Copywriting

Our Method
Copywriting in a foreign language is a 3-step process. Once translated, the text is forwarded to a copywriter, a native speaker who resides in the target country. This ensures that the copywriter is in touch with developments related to trends, cultural nuances, etc. The copywriter will re-write the entire text and adapt it to its final purpose, be it an advert, billboard or an entire website.

Step 1
The text is to be translated by a qualified translator who is a native speaker of the target language and a specializing in the industry of your choice.

Step 2
Once translated, the text is forwarded to a copywriter , a native speaker who resides in the target country. This ensures that the copywriter is in touch with developments related to trends, cultural nuances, etc. The copywriter will re-write the entire text and adapt it to its final purpose, be it an advert, billboard or an entire website.

Step 3
Finally, a quality check is carried out by the Project Manager, where a control system is in action in order to guarantee each job meets with MC Translate’s quality standards.
