Guide on how to localize a song.
1. Poetic Translations – most common road song translators take in order to give a good a good quality
translation of the song in another language. The problem with this type of song localization is it is not
always accurate and close to the original.
2. Word -for-word Translations- aim to translate each and every single word of a song in order to bring it
close to the original version of the song as possible. These kinds of translations completely disregard
grammar and phonetics.
The best thing one can do in order to create a beautiful translation of the song is to start out with a word-for-
word translation, but then incorporate elements of the poetic translation in every part which doesn’t seem to
make a lot of sense. Try to always keep the basic meaning of the song intact but you will come to find that some
parts can simply not be translated accurately in another language as they will end up changing parts of the song
in order to fit in.
