Summary
These days, there is increasing demand for "transcreation," a method of marketing translation that is used to appeal to readers of the target language. Crafting transcreated copy that resonates with people and sells well requires different skills than traditional translation, which focuses solely on textual information.

In this workshop, under the guidance of a lecturer with intimate first-hand experience, participants will learn the basics of

transcreating from Japanese to English (including the definition of transcreation, the scope of what is required, and a breakdown of the process) and learn about various transcreation techniques using practical materials. Get instructor feedback while acquiring skills that will help you in your work.
