Course Content
In the first part of the course, we will discuss the practice of transcreation of marketing and promotional material, and we will see how it differs from translation and localisation. We will analyse authentic transcreations and we will identify the cultural factors at play in the transcreator’s decisions.
In the second part, we will examine the contemporary transcreation industry with reference to models of transcreation workflows.
In the third part, we will focus on the creative aspects of transcreation. Using a hands-on approach, participants will transcreate marketing material of their choice into their native language and will discuss their transcreation choices.
