Qualified Serbian 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 Serbian 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 specialistSerbian 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 Serbian 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 Serbian 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.

• The cost depends on the volume
• Translation and back translation is calculated per source word of original content

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

Serbian is the standardized variety of the Serbo-Croatian language mainly used by Serbs. It is the official language of Serbia, the territory of Kosovo, and one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, it is a recognized minority language in Montenegro where it is spoken by the relative majority of the population, as well as in Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Standard Serbian is based on the most widespread dialect of Serbo-Croatian, Shtokavian (more specifically on Šumadija-Vojvodina and Eastern Herzegovinian dialects), which is also the basis of Standard Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin.The other dialect spoken by Serbs is Torlakian in southeastern Serbia, which is transitional to Macedonian and Bulgarian. Serbian is practically the only European standard language whose speakers are fully functionally digraphic,using both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet was devised in 1814 by Serbian linguist Vuk Karadžić, who created the alphabet on phonemic principles. The Latin alphabet was designed by Croatian linguist Ljudevit Gaj in 1830.
