SAY IT FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW.
Translating is about more than simply updating words. It’s about knowing the region and culture you’re appealing to and being able to modify your communications and appropriately deliver messages and promotions. You must be able to adapt your words to suit any audience. The message needs to hit home but also accommodate cultural differences in a new region.
