Latvian Advertising, PR, Marketing, Transcreation and Translation

We work with a lot of creative marketing and advertising companies providing Latvian language versions of adverts, strap lines/end lines, tag lines, concepts, posters, brochures, slogans, online content, tv scripts and radio scripts. Our task is to deliver the message irrespective of language and culture.

Latvian translation of advertising, PR and marketing material

If required, our specialist Latvian 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.

Our Latvian 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.

Latvian transcreation of advertising, PR and marketing material

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 Latvian 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 Latvian language version, but the persuasive effect must remain as forceful.

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

Latvian brand name linguistic analysis

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

WHILE YOU’RE HERE... SOME QUITE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE Latvian LANGUAGE

Latvian is spoken by roughly 1.3 million people primarily by the Latvian population in Latvia, where it is the official language. Latvian is not largely spoken outside of Latvia, however the Latvian people have migrated to other countries within the EU. Latvian language formed until 16th century on the basis of Latgalian accumulating Curonian, Semigallian and Selonian languages (all are Baltic languages). Latvian is one of two extant Baltic languages, a group of its own within the family of Indo-European languages. Both Latvian and particularly Lithuanian languages are considered to be the most archaic of still-spoken Indo-European languages. The closest ties they have are to Slavic and Germanic families.

Latvian SAMPLE TEXT

Visi cilvēki piedzimst brīvi un vienlīdzīgi savā pašcieņā un tiesībās. Viņi ir apveltīti ar saprātu un sirdsapziņu, un viņiem jāizturas citam pret citu brālības garā.

Vienā vēsā vasaras vakarā viens vecs vācu vīrs veda veselu vezumu vārītu vēžu. Visiem vēžiem vēderi vaļā.
