Standard isn\u2019t standard<\/h3>\n

Transcreation isn\u2019t just about words and numbers. It\u2019s about culture, too. Translating between cultures is an important part of translation when it comes to doing business on an international scale. Not only do you have to know what to say and how to say it, but you have to be familiar with the way in which communication happens in the various countries in which you have business dealings.<\/p>\n

Learn before you go<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re going to meet with a business partner or prospect in another country, make sure you do the research required to know exactly what\u2019s expected of you. You\u2019re the guest, so you should know the business etiquette that is expected. While your partners might forgive a few minor mistakes that only natives would know, cultural information that is widely available should be information that you come to the table knowing.<\/p>\n
