Translation of product labels
Labels are one of the key marketing tools. On the market, a new product and a company are met, remembered and recognized precisely by the bright and laconic stickers with the name, slogan, composition. Therefore, it is so important that the translation is of high quality, takes into account all the peculiarities of the language, and also fits perfectly into the graphic design.
Translating labels into a foreign language is not an easy task, because the text must comply not only with linguistic, but also with the regulatory and legal standards of the country where the product will be sold. For example, whether it is necessary to indicate the presence / absence of GMOs or the name of the organization where to send existing claims. Therefore, before you start working on a translation, you need to study the legal aspect and requirements of a particular state for the design of products.
Once the regulatory requirements are understood, you can proceed to the next stage of label translation - setting the marketing challenge. As already mentioned, the label is a serious image tool, so the product name, slogan and other information should be thought out in detail. For example, the Zhiguli car was supplied abroad under the Lada brand, because the “native” name was firmly associated in foreign-speaking countries with the word “gigalo”. To prevent such overlaps and to achieve high-quality branding, we involve native speakers in our work.
If the name and slogan refer to commonly used vocabulary, the text on the composition and methods of use of the product - to highly specialized. Therefore, linguists with special education and native speakers are involved in the work. As for the rest of the information and descriptions, they should be clear, clear, unambiguous and accessible in order to attract the buyer and give him as much information as possible about the product.
Translation of labels involves work on the text of the proofreader and editor, which will exclude the presence of errors and discrepancies in the text. Our company does everything to ensure that after proofreading, there is not a single mistake or blot in the text. Because one typo can bring huge losses to an organization that will spend twice as much on the implementation of the task.
- The translated text visually matches the source
We preserve the structure and dimensions of the text so that it perfectly matches the developed graphic design. Our experts double-check technical specifications, units of measurement, physical and chemical indicators, so that all information corresponds to reality.
- The semantic component is relevant
