Article Body
As businesses expand globally, the challenge of being misinterpreted in other languages becomes real. The key to overcoming this challenge lies in the expertise of the person translating your content?"from websites to documentation and advertisements.
It's essential not to demand a literal, word-for-word translation. Contrary to popular belief, such translations can be less accurate. A translator who focuses solely on literal translation is often mediocre at best.
A mediocre translator will mechanically replace words and idioms from one language to another, relying heavily on dictionaries, and may take pride in their efforts. Yet, this approach often fails to deliver an effective translation.
A good translator, on the other hand, focuses on conveying the core message of your text, using the right linguistic tools while preserving your style. Although the message is communicated effectively, whether it resonates with the audience is another matter.
The distinction between a good and an excellent translator is crucial. An excellent translator considers the goal of your message. They ask key questions: Does the message suit the target culture? Will the audience embrace it? If not, they will alert you.
Appreciating this advice is vital. It can be challenging to learn your text isn’t perfect. While you might be tempted to dismiss the translator's input because you’re the client, doing so often results in a mediocre translation.
Listening to an expert translator pays off. They provide cultural insights into your target audience, even without an explicit request or extra payment. Their recommendations may seem unusual, but such translators think from the perspective of your potential audience.
Be ready to adapt. You might need to discard or rewrite certain expressions, phrases, or entire sections that don't work in another language. Sometimes, changing photos, graphics, or even the entire website style is necessary.
Cooperating with your translator ultimately offers rewards. By investing in this collaboration, you set the stage for your business’s success in foreign markets.
