Why use an agency? Can I not just do it myself?

Web-Translations has all the requisite skills, experience, infrastructure and technologies at its disposal – plus of course the qualified and vetted professional translators. Localisation is not a simple process. Peace of mind and assured accuracy is guaranteed only if you choose a dedicated and experienced agency such as Web-Translations.

Even the multi-nationals run into trouble because of linguistic and cultural differences:

• Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American ad campaign: “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux”
• In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan “Come alive with the Pepsi Generation” came out as “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead”
• In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into “Schweppes Toilet Water”
