Hello everybody,
I still think that Translia is perfect in Spanish, and due that we are getting more and more customers every day who are getting used to our brand name and surely spreading the word, I would not find wise to change it.

There are several words we could use for translation in Polish. Two of them (more common) do not sound or look anything close to the English name. The more sophisticated one (of Latin origin as its English equivalent) is similar but known by fewer people.
But TRANSLIA is a nice, short and easy to remember word. Ideal for a brand name.
However, seeing how nice it looks in non-Latin alphabets, I'd say it may be a good idea to use them in the design to sort of give the site a more international look. Just an idea.

For me its alright how it is, it sounds well in English or Spanish.

I think Translia in Arabic should still as it is. It would be pronounced as it is but in Arabic letters without any changes to the original name.
The original name just in Arabic letters : ترانسليا

I think that Translia is a suitable name & it needn't to be translated into other languages or localized.

Hello Yolanda,

Before, I recommended leaving the name/brand Translia as is. Now I suggest to add some variations and their translations such as;

* Translia - The meeting point of linguists OR
* Translia - Linguist's Portal OR
* Translia - All in one language solutions etc.

Kind Regards,
Osos

I think the name Translia maintains its meaning without any need of alterations, in Italian as well.
Although the word for TRANSlate is different, it's not uncommon now days to see the english
version everywhere, even in italian settings.
Plus, it ends with a vowel and it's easy to pronounce and that, make sense to italians . No need to change it.

Translia as a brand name in Dutch is perfect, as I mentioned before.

I suppose that Targumia would be a good translation into Hebrew. Targum means translation.
In Hebrew it would look like this:
תרגומיה

Hi,

For creating a brand, I recommend you to use the same name. It sounds nice to Turkish natives as well.

Kind Regards,

For Arabic, I don't recommend to transliterate it, I prefer to keep it as it is in English.
This is the same for all other professional web sites. Ex., Proz
The word "Translia" can be transliterated as "ترانزليا" or "ترانسليا"
Please keep it in English for all languages to reflect the real meaning and objective of this website.

I think the word Translia is perfect, in Spanish and in Portuguese. For us the really important thing is to make Translia widely known in every corner of the web, in order to became the Brand name in substitution of Translation. That way we whould be the "Mc. Donalds" of translations.

Translia sounds perfect in Dutch. The Dutch are familiar with foreign expressions (mainly from the English language). Translia just sounds fine in Dutch. I think it should stay the same in all languages.

I think it should stay the same in German. Basically I think it should stay the same in every language since it is not a complicated name and well chosen. Nobody ever thought of translating "Coca Cola" or "Mc Donalds". The only thing they changed in Germany is the Mc Donalds "drive through" - since German's have problems with pronouncing the "th" and "gh", they call it "drive in".

So let Translia become Translia international!

Maybe it's a request more than a suggestion. As I said days ago: is it possible to receive by mail Translia brand name (translated) or something like this, in order to insert it in our professional e-mail settings? Thank you. Laura

It's best to write "Translia" using Arabic letters. Maintaining the same pronunciation of the English word, "Translia" is written in Arabic as follows:

ترانزليا

Regards,

Thank all of you for the input. Now, although the discussion still continues, let me try to summarize the points as below.

The translation is recommended for the following languages.

• Arabic
• Russian

Chinese is pending since no sufficient inputs yet.

We may leave the name as-is for all other languages.

Dear Vic,

In Dutch, the rule of not translating mostly applies, as for family names and most city names, to brand names, registered trade marks, etc.

Besides, as in Spanish, Portuguese and Hungarian, it sounds good to me as it is.
Furthermore, Lia is a first name in Dutch (I have sister with that name), I think it comes from Hebrew, but do not know the exact meaning, please post that question.

Leave it as it is, is my opinion.

Regards, Rinus

I think the "Translia" brand name is good enough for Spanish (Spain and Lat Am) as the word sounds as if it were from this language. If you invent another word you would loose the brand. "Sony" was chosen because it sounds the same in all languages.
