Why should I hire a transcreation specialist to handle my UX and marketing copy?

Think of it like this: Would you buy from a business you don't understand or – even worse – doesn't understand you? CSA Research findings show that 76% of online shoppers prefer to buy products with information in their native language, and 40% will never buy from websites in other languages. Transcreation goes beyond word-for-word translation. It's about adapting your message so it resonates with your target audience (aka marketing translation). This means you're hitting the nail on the head both linguistically and culturally, which will get you a massive step closer to connecting with your German-speaking audience. Taking the time to make your UX and marketing materials come to life in German shows your target audience that you care about their pain points, wants, and needs. And in return, they're far more likely to trust your brand and keep coming back.

What do you charge for a transcreation project?

I apply transcreation (translation + copywriting) to each of my localisation services. All my work is priced by project, which allows me to take your specific needs into account. You can find ballpark figures on each service page of this website to guide you in your decision-making process. Do you have a project that's ready to go? Email me the original content along with your brief, and I'll send you a quote with no strings attached: hello@belinda-grace.com

How long does a transcreation project take?

It depends on the size, volume, and complexity of your project. A blog post of around 1,200 words will usually take me three business days – one to transcreate, one to let it sit, and one more to edit before sending it back to you. A full landing page transcreation requires more work, including a strategy call, brand and product research, keyword coordination, and a quality assurance process. No matter your situation, you can always email me about a time estimate for your project: hello@belinda-grace.com

Which content formats do you accept?

Some of my clients prefer to share their content directly in Google Docs or Sheets, or as XLIFF files (specifically for UX localisation), which works great as well. PDFs are usually fine, but if they're poorly formatted, they can cause awkward line breaks in my translation software, which makes them unusable. While I have handled InDesign files before, I don't work directly in InDesign, and I don't have a licence or a PC that's set up for this type of work. If you're unsure about your file format for localisation, please email me: hello@belinda-grace.com

Process

Curious about my process?
Here’s how we can work together in four simple steps:

1. Get in touch

Email me your brief and the content you’d like me to localise for the German market. I accept MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files. If this is our first time working together, I invite you to book a free discovery call so we can get to know each other.

2. Sign off on the details

As soon as I’ve had a look at your content and project requirements, I’ll be in touch to confirm the deadline, fee, and any other specifics. I’ll also ask you to sign my Terms of Business so we can start our collaboration properly and stress-free.

3. Lean back & relax

Lean back while I work on your content. This includes editing and reading my transcreation out loud to make sure it flows and ‘snaps’. If any FYIs or questions come up along the way, I’ll be in touch via email.

4. Enjoy your content & share the love

At this stage, your content sounds smooth, natural, on-brand, and ready for your German-speaking audience to enjoy. This is when I encourage you to share any feedback. When you’re happy, I’m happy!
