Key insights
Key Insights On Our Translation and Localisation Services
- We deliver translation and localisation as a paid service for brands and in-house teams, from single projects to ongoing retainers.
- 15 briefable deliverables sit inside this service, so you can start narrow and expand.
- Strategy first: positioning, audience and success measures are written down before production begins.
- Delivered in 52+ markets with local spelling, search behaviour and examples.
Our translation and localisation service covers website and marketing localisation, multilingual SEO, transcreation, email and campaign adaptation, cultural review and glossary management. Work is done by market-native writers, reviewed by a second linguist, and delivered with the local keyword and phrasing research that makes it rank, not just read correctly.
Overview
What Translation and Localisation Is And What It Includes
Translation converts words; localisation converts meaning. A page translated word for word may be grammatically perfect and still miss, because buyers search differently, joke differently and trust different proof in every market.
Our process starts with research, not a translation memory. We study how people in the target market actually search for what you sell, which competitors own the conversation, and which cultural references, currencies, date formats and units need to change. Then native writers adapt the content against that research.
Quality control is two-layered: a second native linguist reviews every piece, and a strategist checks the localised content still argues your brand's case. Where AI assists with draft volume, human review is always the final gate, because nuance is exactly what machines lose.
The full list of 15 deliverables inside this service, how each one is bought and how long it takes, is set out in the what is included table further down this page.

Who Our Translation and Localisation Services Are For
Brands Entering a New Market
Your home-market content will not travel as-is. We adapt it for how that market searches, reads and buys.
E-commerce Selling Across Borders
Product pages, checkout copy and emails localised with local units, currency and expectations built in.
Companies Burned By Machine Translation
You saved money and paid for it in trust. We repair machine-translated content with native review.
Global Teams Losing Brand Consistency
Each market improvising its own message. Our glossaries and style guides keep one brand in every language.
Problems
Problems Our Translation and Localisation Services Fix
Pages that Rank at Home and Nowhere Else
Translated keywords are usually wrong keywords. Local research finds how the market actually searches.
Machine Translation Embarrassing the Brand
Grammar tools miss idiom, register and taboo. Native review catches what software cannot.
A Different Brand in Every Country
Without shared glossaries and style rules, each market drifts. Our systems keep the voice identical.
Campaigns that Fall Flat Abroad
Humour and persuasion are cultural. Transcreation rebuilds the idea so it lands the second time.
No One to Ask About the Market
Our native writers flag what will and will not work before you learn it the expensive way.
Process
How We Deliver Translation and Localisation
- 1
Market research
Week 1
Local search behaviour, competitors and buyer expectations mapped before a word is adapted.
- 2
Glossary and style
Week 1 to 2
Approved terminology and tone rules agreed per market, so consistency is built in from line one.
- 3
Adaptation
Week 2 to 4
Native writers localise the content against the research, with transcreation where literal translation fails.
- 4
Second-linguist review
Per batch
A separate native reviewer checks accuracy, register and cultural fit.
- 5
Launch and learn
Ongoing
Localised pages monitored for rankings and conversion, with phrasing refined against real data.

Decide
Translation Vs Transcreation
Knowing which one you need saves both money and embarrassment.
Translation
- Faithful conversion of meaning between languages
- Right for product docs, help content and information
- Fast and cost-effective at volume
- Keeps the source structure and intent
Transcreation
- Rebuilds the idea so it persuades in the market
- Right for taglines, campaigns and brand copy
- Slower and more creative, priced accordingly
- May change words entirely to keep the effect
Guidance
The Market-entry Mistake Almost Everyone Makes
Most brands localise their homepage and product pages first, because that is what feels most visible. The higher-return move is usually to localise the content buyers meet earlier: the comparison pages, the pricing page, the reviews and the emails. Trust is built at the decision point, not the front door.
Second: do not translate your keyword list. Search phrasing diverges wildly between markets, even between countries sharing a language. We research each market's queries from scratch, which is often where the biggest, cheapest ranking wins are hiding.

Why Clients Trust Our Translation and Localisation Team
I am Monika Singh, founder of The DRAFT ROOOM. I take full responsibility for every piece of translation and localisation we deliver. Each brief is scoped in writing, produced by a specialist who works in this discipline every week, and reviewed by an editor before it reaches you. If something misses the brief, we fix it, and you always know who is accountable for the work.
Clients stay with us because the work is researched rather than guessed, written for real search behaviour across search engines, answer engines and AI assistants, and measured against outcomes we agreed up front. No fabricated claims, no filler, no invoices you did not expect.
Questions people ask
Frequently Asked Questions About Translation and Localisation Services
Short, direct answers to the questions we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it over and a real person replies within one business day.
Which languages do you cover?
We work with a network of native writers across major European, Middle Eastern and Asian languages, including Arabic with full right-to-left considerations. Tell us the markets and we will confirm coverage before quoting.
Do you use machine translation?
Where it helps with draft volume we use it openly, but every piece is finished and verified by native human linguists. Nothing ships as raw machine output.
Can you localise directly in our CMS?
Yes. We deliver in your preferred format, including direct CMS entry, and we preserve your markup, links and SEO fields throughout.
What does your translation and localisation service actually include?
It covers website localisation, marketing content localisation, email and campaign localisation, product content localisation, multilingual seo, transcreation (market to market adaptation) and more. Every engagement starts with a short discovery call, then a written scope so you can see exactly what is included, who is doing it and when it lands.
Who will be doing the work?
A dedicated specialist in this discipline, led by a strategist who owns the brief. You will know who is on your account from day one, and you can speak to them directly in the dashboard.
How long does it take to see results?
Conversion focused work such as landing pages or email flows can move numbers within weeks. Search led work usually shows movement in six to twelve weeks and compounds from there. We will tell you honestly which one you are buying.
Do you work to our brand guidelines?
Yes. If you have a tone of voice guide we work inside it. If you do not, we can build one first so everything after that stays consistent.
Can we start with a small project?
Most clients do. A pilot piece of work is the fairest way to test how we think and write before committing to a retainer.
How do you handle revisions?
Two rounds of revisions are included as standard. You comment or request changes in the dashboard, we turn them around, and nothing gets lost in an email thread.
Will the work be written by AI?
AI helps with research and first drafts. A specialist shapes, edits and signs off every word, so the finished piece sounds like your brand rather than a tool.
How do you measure success?
We agree the measure before we start. That might be rankings and qualified traffic, enquiry volume, email revenue or sales assisted. We report against it, not against vanity metrics.
Do you have experience in our industry?
We have worked across more than 100 industries, and we will show you relevant examples on the first call. Where a category is regulated, we build review and claims checking into the process.
