01 / Services

More than translation.

Entering a European market takes more than translating words.

A product description, website, campaign or company profile may be grammatically correct and still feel foreign to the people reading it.

I work between Chinese language and European communication, adapting meaning, tone and cultural context so Chinese companies can communicate naturally with European audiences.

Translation

Accurate, natural translation of Chinese content for European audiences. Corporate communication, product information, websites, presentations, articles and general business content.

02 /

Localization

Adapting content rather than simply translating it. Websites, product pages, apps, marketing materials and customer-facing communication are adapted to feel natural in the target market.

03 /

Transcreation

When the original idea matters more than the original words. Slogans, campaigns, headlines and promotional messages adapted for a new cultural context while preserving the intention behind them.

04 /

Multilingual Content

One Chinese source. Multiple European markets. Content developed and coordinated across Italian, English, French, German and Spanish, while respecting differences between audiences.

05 /

Cultural Adaptation

Language carries context. Expressions, references, tone and communication habits that work in China may require adaptation for European audiences.

02 / Selected work

Concept projects. Real problems.

Independent sample work created to demonstrate how Chinese content can be adapted for European audiences.

03 / About

A specialist between China and Europe.

I'm Marco Sabbatini, an Italian language professional working across Chinese and European languages.

My background combines Chinese language and culture, translation, European studies and academic and professional experience with Chinese.

I have studied and worked in China and have an academic background spanning Chinese language, translation, German studies and East Asian politics, economy and society.

My work sits at the intersection of language, culture and communication.

I don't aim to make Chinese content sound European by removing what makes it Chinese. I aim to make it understandable, natural and effective for the people it is meant to reach.
