  Connecting with many people around the world is paramount to the success of your product or business. It is important to interpret, translate and localize the product and marketing content you want to promote. So, what is the difference between translation and interpretation? An interpreter translates verbally while a translator translates written words. Interpreters and translators require a deep understanding of the culture and language, subject matter expertise and the ability to communicate clearly.

What is patent translation? Patent translation refers to the translation of patent-related documents such as patent specifications or documents in the field of intellectual property (IP) into the native language or foreign language.

Translation vs Localization, What's the Difference? When reaching new customers in other countries through translated websites or mobile apps in multiple languages, there are multiple language services that can help you communicate more effectively. Transcreation Transcreation is a type of creative translation that acts as a translator and copywriter to get your message across effectively to your readers. Transcreation is also the process of making adjustments to people who speak a different language to feel culturally appropriate. So rather than a rigid literal translation, it is a process of creating new sentences for a specific market while leaving the original context, intent, style, tone, and emotion intact. The combination of Translation and Creation is called Transcreation. The transcreation service is provided by language experts who are familiar with the culture and language of the target market. I’MTranslation uses cultural sensitivity research throughout the t...
