From English into Finnish localised website

The customer needed a localised Finnish website adapted for the Finnish market.

Website for a stairlift manufacturer to support their local distributor

Stannah Stairlifts is a UK-based stairlift manufacturer. They wanted to have their website translated from English to Finnish to support their Finnish dealer.

That was a 45.000-words project to start with, which grew with updates, landing pages, campaigns, social media and Facebook copy and with some video subtitles, blog articles and other marketing related material.

Tone of voice was adapted for the Finnish market

The translation was done with Word files, one file per page, and translated using a translation memory software to maintain consistency with terminology and style.

As basis for the translation served their English website which the Finnish distributor checked. They noted that it was a bit too salesy for Finland so I was asked to adapt the English text in translating and make it sound more natural and selling without pushing.

The Finnish distributor was very pleased with the outcome and the Finnish website was launched as planned on schedule.

Skills needed & key features:

  • Fluent and natural Finnish text, not too salesy
  • Using the right terminology
  • Researching the subject field and terminology
  • Asking questions and clarifying problems
  • Translation from English to Finnish 
  • Editing to make the text sound like originally written in Finnish
  • Long-term project, helping with updates
