Ways to
work with
TransLABtion

Different markets, different needs. Same brand.

One-size-fits-all is efficient, I’ll give you that. But it is also how distinctive brands start sounding like everybody else (which is a rather expensive way of becoming forgettable).

On top of that, AI has made generic content remarkably easy to produce at scale. Feed it a vague brief like “warm, premium and engaging” and it will oblige — along with half the internet.

The harder part now happens before the words: deciding what can move fast, where local judgement matters and which messages carry enough brand or commercial weight to deserve more attention.

That is where TransLABtion comes in.

1.0 Brand Voice and Cultural Adaptation

Your brand already knows who it is. Crossing a border shouldn’t give it an identity crisis.

A brand’s voice lives in the details and the not-so-obvious choices: tone, rhythm, terminology, forms of address, cultural references and the relationship you build with the person on the other side.

If the brand guide says “warm and friendly”, but the Spanish website says “usted” and sounds far more formal than the original, the voice changed somewhere between the guideline and the live copy.

I look at that distance between intention and execution: how the brand actually comes across in Spanish, where the voice starts to wobble and what would make it easier to stay coherent as more content is produced.

This may include: Spanish Brand Voice Audits · Local voice guidelines · Tone of voice · Cultural adaptation · Brand terminology · Cross-channel consistency · Spanish market language advisory · Spanish language governance

Where to start

Already have Spanish content out in the world? Start with the audit below.
Still deciding how Spanish should work in the first place? That is where advisory comes in.

1.1 Spanish Brand Voice Audit

If Spanish isn’t your language, fluent copy can be surprisingly difficult to challenge.

It may read smoothly and still feel unlike the brand to the people actually reading it in Spain.

The audit makes that blind spot visible.

I review 3–5 selected touchpoints and read the Spanish as a customer would: where the voice holds, where something starts to feel off and which decisions are behind it.

What you walk away with

A clear diagnosis of how the brand currently sounds in Spanish, illustrated with examples from your own content.

You’ll see what to keep and what to change — including suggested rewrites where seeing the difference on the page is more useful than another paragraph of theory.

I also pull those findings together into a first set of practical Spanish voice principles your team can use when new content is created or adapted.

Typical scope: 3-5 touchpoints
Turnaround: 5-7 working days
Standard audit: €950

Larger sites, campaigns or more complex scopes are quoted separately.

1.2 Spanish Market Language Advisory

Sometimes the useful conversation happens before there is anything to rewrite.

Your team may already have AI, global guidelines, internal reviewers and a production workflow in place. I can help with the Spanish decisions that sit between them: how the voice should behave locally, where human judgement matters and what guidance people need to make consistent choices over time.

That may include Spanish language governance, local voice guidance, terminology decisions and support for teams producing or reviewing content for Spain.

2.0 Translation and Transcreation

Literal is a method, not a virtue.

Granted — certain content can move quickly through an AI-assisted workflow and come out perfectly serviceable. When a line carries the brand into Spain, I slow down.

I have seen sentences survive every dictionary check and arrive in Spanish with the pulse gone, so I start somewhere else: what is this piece actually trying to make the reader understand, feel or do? Then I decide how close the wording needs to stay.

The craft is knowing when to stay close and when to let the words move.

That may mean staying close through specialist translation or localization, or giving the message more room through transcreation, while keeping context, tone, culture and the point of the original intact.

This may include: Marketing & corporate translation · Websites · SEO translation · Product content · Transcreation · Localization · Regulated & technical content · Linguistic review · Quality assurance

3.0 Copywriting and Content

Sometimes there is nothing to translate. Good.

Then the real question is “What is actually worth saying, and why should anyone care?”

I have very little patience for content that fills space without earning it. A website needs to explain. A product page needs to tempt. A campaign needs to stay with you. And good content has to earn attention before it can do anything else.

TransLABtion creates copy with the brand, the audience and the purpose in mind — from a few very important words to larger bodies of editorial, digital or campaign content.

This may include: Website copy · Product copy · Campaigns · Claims and taglines · Editorial content · SEO copywriting · Email and CRM · Branded content · Social content
