Transcreation<\/span><\/a>, a combination of the words \u201ctranslation\u201d and \u201ccreation\u201d, is a creative process used in marketing. <\/span><\/p>

Going further than translation<\/span><\/a>, which preserves the linguistic meaning, transcreation preserves emotional intent and cultural resonance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
