Qualified Ukrainian Advertising, PR & Marketing translators

If you want your message to be understood in other countries and locales, you’re going to need translated content that is persuasive, engaging and on-brand across all your communication channels.

You’re also going to need to be aware that idioms fit for one country may not work so successfully in others.

Whom do we work with?

We work with a lot of creative marketing, advertising and events companies providing transcreated Ukrainian language versions of social media campaigns, adverts, strap lines/end lines, tag lines, concepts, corporate documents, posters, brochures, slogans, online content, tv scripts and radio scripts. We are also very happy to work directly with corporate clients rather than via one of their agencies. Our task is to deliver the message irrespective of language and culture.

What do we do?

If required, our specialistUkrainian translators can provide a faithful translation of the original source copy. During this process, the linguists will of course take into account localisation and cultural factors to ensure the material is just as appropriate to its new audience as it was to its original audience.

Covering over 200 languages, our translators’ experience in this sector means you will be able to use marketing material that’s as effective in the target language as it is in the original language.

Transcreation is the creative adaption of copy in the target language, so the text will be completely re-written in a foreign language. We have a team of experienced Ukrainian copywriters specialising in transcreation and adaption working in over 100 markets.

As part of the process, it will be important for us to understand your communication objectives as the meaning of the original message may change in the translated language version, but the persuasive effect must remain as forceful.

Unless otherwise instructed, all transcreations are reviewed by another Ukrainian linguist and are back-translated. Any number of draft versions can be supplied for your feedback and comments until we get it just right.

Because some brand names and slogans have unexpected cultural connotations, we also have an experienced team of brand checking analysts. They can ensure your logo or slogan will not be misinterpreted.

The marketing world has turned its attention well and truly to video content.  The majority of our clients require their video content also to be localised to fit their regional markets.  We have a strong multilingual subtitling and voice over division here at Knockhundred so we can help you with this too.

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Ukrainian language.

Ukrainian is an Eastern Slavonic language closely related to Russian and Belarusian. It is spoken by about 51 million people in Ukraine (Україна) and in many other countries, including Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Paraguay, Poland, Romania, Russia and Slovakia. The recorded history of the Ukrainian language began in 988, when the principality of Kiev (Київ) was converted to Christianity. In the 13th century, Ukraine became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuanian and Ruthenian, an ancestor of Belarusian and Ukrainian became the main language. The remaining parts of Ukraine were taken over by Poland during the 16th century and Latin and Polish were used for official purposes. Ruthenian began to split into Ukrainian and Belarusian during this period. The Cossacks later moved into eastern Ukraine and during the 17th century, their leader, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, invited Russia to help against Polish domination in 1648. During the reign of Catherine the Great, the Cossacks moved to the eastern frontiers of Russia, but Ukraine remained under Russian domination, and the Russians considered the Ukrainian language as little more than a dialect of Russian. Ukraine enjoyed a brief period of independence from 1918 to 1919, then was taken over by the USSR and declared a Soviet Republic. During the Soviet era, Russian was the main language of education and employment and Ukrainian was sidelined. Ukraine declared independence in 1991. Since then many Ukrainian émigrés have returned to Ukraine, particularly from central Asia and Siberia. Courtesy of Omniglot
