Translation Services: Errors in Advertising

New product launches command a good slice of the translation services market.

When businesses expand into off shore markets with a new product launch, advertising plays a big part in boosting product visibility. This is where a reliable provider of translation services steps in. Advertising copy must be error free and must also be couched in language that appeals to the audience in the region targeted for the launch — both are vital to marketing success.

Quite often, there is also a large foreign language speaking population within a region or country, even though the national language may be English. For instance, there is a large Hispanic population in the U.S., apart from a sizeable number of French, German, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese speakers. There is consequently a great need for corporate translation services to meet the demand for creating bi-lingual promotional literature including brochures, product catalogues and in-flight magazines that are literally bursting with advertisements.

Turkish to English translation services guide

It’s easy to forget that Turkey is not the only country with a significant population of native Turks or Turkish speakers, or that there is a need at all for for Turkish to English translation service.  However,  Turkish is a native language in countries other than just the Republic of Turkey, such as neighboring countries like Cyprus, where 19% of the population is Turkish.  Greece and Bulgaria have sizable and significant populations who speak native Turkish, as well as Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan.  There are 2.5 million Turks living in Germany, and over 1.5 million Turkish immigrants in the U.S. and Canada.

North America has its own Turkish sectors as well.  The largest North American Turkish community occupies Paterson, NJ; with Long Island, Staten Island, Brooklyn NY and Philadelphia, PA being close seconds.  Turkish communities will inevitably have many members who speak little English, requiring Turkish to English translation for things like government forms, tax forms, banking statements, housing and financial paperwork, legal document translation, and much more.

However, Turkish immigrants living in English speaking countries is really just a small fraction of the demands for Turkish translation service.  The Republic of Turkey exports a fair amount of commercial products to North America covering several industries.  Textiles, apparel, electronics and industrial machinery are just four of the top exports.  Corporations, businesses and other merchandisers who deal with Turkish exporters require Turkish to English translation for business documents of all kinds.
