Translating the Message, Not Just the Words
Do you need to translate Spanish into English? Maybe another language pair?
The translators or the companies providing marketing translation services have to make their clients aware of how they could be misunderstood if the marketing material is simply translated word-for-word without giving appropriate attention to the message that is given by the text after translation.
For example, one of the well-known car manufacturing brands introduced one of its new models in the Latin American market, where the Spanish language has domination. The name of the model included the noun “Nova” in it. The company was uninformed that ‘no va’ in Spanish means ‘it won’t go.’

The punch line explained that the brand’s chicken is “finger-licking tasty.” The translated statement resulted in saying the people eating the brand chicken must eat away their fingers.
In one campaign, the word tonic water, after translation into the target language, meant toilet water. A soft drink’s punch lines improper translation created misunderstanding in China as the phrase in English ‘come alive with ___’ gave a statement saying that the dead ancestors would become alive after drinking the soft drink.

Marketing Abroad
All businesses – domestic or multinational – need effective targeted marketing strategies to succeed in the business industry. This is an important principle that applies to every business located in any corner of the world.
It would be a valuable investment to study the local culture, traditions, festivals, likes, dislikes, and influencing factors in the target market location to make the marketing of a product or service effective and targeted. There could be incidences where a single marketing strategy may not be suitable for two different locations for many reasons, which may inflict injury on a company’s image.

To make target marketing effective, one of the valuable factors that need to be addressed by multinational companies is the translation of marketing information to local languages by employing professionals trained in providing marketing translation services. Such marketing translation services include translating marketing tools like brochures, flyers, websites, and various types of advertising campaigns to local languages.
Accurately translating marketing information means that the translator pays great attention to cultural details. Paying attention to cultural details will convey a well-rounded message to customers interested in your market products. For example, if you use a targeted brochure, the color black should be avoided. The reason for this is that, in Chinese culture, black represents a forbidden color that brings about bad luck. All forms of marketing materials should pay close attention to such detail – no matter what country you are marketing in.
