If you’re responsible for global campaigns, the potential rewards can be significant—but so can the risks. If you truly want to succeed in global markets, it’s essential to make sure that the content you’re putting in front of multilingual audiences is on-message and on-brand. We use the process of transcreation to achieve that. After all, words can’t just be translated—they need to take messaging, tone, and styling into account.

Through the use of expert copywriting, marketing linguists, digital experts, and technology tools, Semantix global advertising and marketing solutions are designed to position you and your clients for success … anywhere. Whether you’re looking to localize a global campaign, translate advertising copy, create a video in several languages, optimize for online audiences, improve international marketplaces, or provide interpretation for an industry event, Semantix can help and support.

We have 30 years of experience working with marketing agencies, marketing professionals and the biggest brands in the world to create, optimize, and monitor global campaigns. Our specialist teams are here to support your multilingual marketing objectives around the globe.

Language services for marketing teams

Boost the reach and engagement of your marketing with Semantix. Communicate accurately with the right tonality in all your markets with efficiently localised marketing content, and improve efficiency with automated solutions. When communicating in multiple languages, it’s important to retain not only your tone of voice and your brand personality, but also the unique terminology that makes you special in the eyes of your audiences. Preserving and transferring these elements is a key aspect of a successful relationship with a language service provider. Fortunately, it’s something we’re quite good at.

We speak your language, and your customers’

A big part of marketing is telling stories that impact the way a customer relates to a product or service. And, as the saying goes, how you tell the story is as important as the story itself. We understand the importance of localising your content to make your stories memorable for all the right reasons in all your markets.

Content Analytics & International Content Marketing

Content is everywhere and, through a wide-ranging and methodical evaluation process, we are able to identify what works and what doesn’t. In this way, we can recommend solutions to ensure all your digital content performs at its most efficient and productive.
The content we produce doesn’t only appeal to your target market, it also attracts the attention of their preferred search engines. Creating consumer-friendly content optimised for local keywords and search habits ensures your marketing message will be seen by as many people as possible.

Multilingual Copywriting

Our skilled multilingual copywriters ensure that every piece of your content engages each international market with the same attention to detail and marketing impact as the original content achieved in the home market.

Cross-Cultural UX

Our team of experts strive to create the ultimate user experience (UX) across the entire spectrum of digital content. This means adopting a local point of view for each market to create content that looks and feels intuitive and inviting, whatever the location, language or culture.

Conversion Rate Optimisation Service

It takes insight to maximise the proportion of people taking the desired course of action after engaging with your content. To carry out conversion rate optimisation (CRO) across multiple international markets requires a level of local understanding only found in a global communication powerhouse like ours.

Engagement Tracking

What makes consumers connect with your marketing message? We continually monitor and evaluate search terms used in markets around the world, and keep a close watch on competitors’ online output, so your content can be optimised for maximum engagement.

The following are some of the services most frequently used.

  • Standard translation
    Your text is translated and checked by a professional translator, specialising in your field of business.
  • Premium translation
    The translation is proofread and checked by an extra set of professional eyes.
  • Copy adaptation
    Translation including adapting the text to the local market’s target audience and culture, rather than a verbatim rendering of the source text.
  • Review
    A reviewer looks at the content of the text to ensure that it is correct and appropriate for the agreed purpose. This could include a review of text written by a non-native language author.
  • Proofreading
    Proofreading ensures that spelling and punctuation is correct, without losing the meaning of your communication.

When you receive high quality translations, please inform Semantix so they can set the translators to preferred for Dun & Bradstreet, to ensure continued high quality.

If you already work with a translator you are happy with, you can also ask to have them incorporated in Semantix’ system for Dun & Bradstreet, provided they meet their basic requirements.

Basic requirements include translation education qualifications, or other higher education and at least two years of documented translation experience, or at least five years of documented translation experience.

Feedback on delivered translations

One of the key objectives of our quality management is to maintain customer satisfaction. If you have any feedback, please don’t hesitate to share this with Semantix as soon as possible to make any needed adjustments. Any changes to a target text will be incorporated into the translation memory for future reference.

Through continuous feedback and dialogue, we achieve refined and improved results.

Translation memory

All translated texts are stored in a Dun & Bradstreet owned translation memory. The tool recognises repetitions or text that has previously been translated and can be reused at no extra charge.

Style Guide and how to use it

A style guide has been produced in collaboration with Semantix. This is a good source of reference for linguists when it comes to style and tone of voice depending on target group.

The purpose of this style guide is to describe the way in which Dun & Bradstreet communicates. It contributes to ensuring consistency in the communication, making sure that it reflects the desired corporate style and making it easily recognisable by recipients.

In 2021, Semantix merged with TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business. Semantix operates as a division within the TransPerfect family of companies.
