There's one component in particular sets us apart from the others- our focus on marketing. By dissecting different marketing slogans and campaigns in particular, we are able to create case studies where we analyze written marketing messages in English and how students would translate them into another language. Here's some examples of what we mean and how these case studies help students to become a certified translator online.

Analyzing marketing campaigns in translation courses helps students become better translators

1. "You're worth it" by L'Oréal

To native English speakers, the slogan makes sense grammatically and in theory. It is sending the message that you are worth the money required to buy their product. In another language, like Russian for example, it doesn't make sense grammatically or in theory. Our translation courses help bilingual students to analyze text like this, find the meaning, and provides them with translator techniques and skills to translate it into Russian and make some sort of sense.

2. "Belong anywhere" by Air B&B
It isn't necessarily about the amount of words, it's more about the meaning behind them that needs to translate into another language. A translators job is to read a source text, and write it in another language while making the translated version make sense to the reader. For example, this could look like changing "belong anywhere" to "you can belong anywhere" or "make anywhere your home" ... all of these messages have similar meanings, but some languages don't have an equivalent word.
