Translated is not localised.

Machine translation gets the words right and the meaning wrong. Here are English lines in Spanish: word for word, and the way a native speaker would actually say them.

Linguists and cultural advisors. Real people.

We work with professional linguists and cultural adaptation consultants who live in the market. They know more than the words: how people there feel about your category, what is funny, what is polite and what is taboo. AI helps us draft faster, but a person always has the last word, and we check everything again on the live page.

  • Professional linguists, native speakers
  • A cultural advisor for every market
  • Transcreation for slogans and campaigns
  • 100% human-reviewed, checked on the live page

What a cultural advisor
checks.

A good translation does not help if the name sounds silly or the ad offends. That is why a cultural advisor reviews every market.

01

Brand and names

Your brand, product names and logo, checked for how they sound and for hidden negative meanings in the local language and culture.

02

How people see your category

Beauty in Seoul, Dubai and New York is three different stories. We find out how your market thinks about what you sell.

03

Visual and cultural taboos

Gestures, colours, clothing, symbols and humour in every ad and video, so nothing starts a boycott.

Everything that needs
to speak local.

Not just the words on the page: the buttons, the ads, the search terms and the small print too.

01 ✳︎

Website localisation

Pages, menus, forms, buttons and error messages, adapted rather than translated.

02 ✳︎

Transcreation

Slogans, headlines and campaigns recreated for each market, so they make people feel what the original does.

03 ✳︎

Local SEO keywords

We research what people actually type in each language and use those words in titles and pages.

04 ✳︎

Technical setup

Language switcher, hreflang, local URLs and metadata, so Google shows the right version.

05 ✳︎

Cultural check

A cultural advisor checks names, visuals, colours, gestures and humour before anything goes live.

06 ✳︎

Live check

We check the finished pages on phone and desktop: no cut-off buttons, no broken lines.

From one language
to many.

Before you ask.

Which languages do you work with?

Estonian, English and Russian every day. For other languages we bring in professional linguists and cultural adaptation consultants we trust, and we will tell you honestly if we can’t do one well.

Do you use machine translation or AI?

AI can make a first draft. A native speaker always rewrites and approves the final text. Nothing goes live unchecked.

Is localisation more than translation?

Yes. Dates, prices, units, idioms, jokes, examples and calls to action change from market to market. So do the words people search for.

Can you localise a website you didn’t build?

Yes, on most platforms (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix). We can work in your CMS or hand over ready texts.

How long does it take?

A small website (5–10 pages) usually takes 1–2 weeks per language, review included.

Or maybe this?
