Lost in cultural nuances

I recently translated a marketing campaign for an outdoor gear company, and it struck me how challenging it’s to capture the essence of adventure while also respecting local cultures. For example, the term ‘wild’ has such different connotations depending on the region. How do you tackle these nuances in your translations without losing the brand’s voice?

, cultural nuances can be such a headache! When I tackled a similar project for a travel agency, I found that involving local experts really helped capture that spirit without diluting the brand voice. Have you considered reaching out to people in those regions for insights?
