Translation for the fashion and haute couture sector
In the colourful world of fashion, translation is a powerful tool to communicate your creative vision and brand identity around the world. It brings your collections to life, conveying your vision and showcasing your creations.
Whether you are an haute couture house, a renowned designer or an accessories manufacturer, adapt your communications to the culture of a demanding international clientele and make your collections accessible worldwide.
Orkera fashion translation service provider always finds the right words, whatever the language.
Enhance your international fashion content
Successful translation of fashion industry content goes beyond the literal translation of words. It must convey the trends, talent, zeitgeist and creative identity that characterise each collection. Orkera’s fashion translators understand the importance of preserving the creative intent behind each piece, ensuring that key messages are translated accurately and elegantly.
Haute couture houses require translations that showcase their luxury products and garments. We make sure that the descriptions reflect the attention to detail, the exceptional craftsmanship and the story behind each piece. Infused with a strong literary spirit, our translations for the haute couture and luxury sector resonate with the spirit of luxury labels and fashion houses.
Designers and design studios are also looking for translations that convey their passion for presenting their creations to international markets. Whether for fashion shows, catalogues or websites, Orkera’s translators ensure that the message is culturally appropriate, while retaining the spirit of your brand.
With regard to ready-to-wear, fast fashion and accessories, where collections are constantly renewed and ranges extended, translation plays a crucial role in communicating marketing messages. Labels, product descriptions, sales media and POS materials all need to be translated quickly and smoothly to meet the demands of the changing seasons. We can deliver the goods, through regular collaboration and by harnessing our extensive multilingual translation capabilities. With us, you can cover all your markets in up to 60 languages at a time!
Weavers, tanners and garment makers also face specific challenges when it comes to translation. The technical terminology used in these fields requires in-depth knowledge of the fashion industry and manufacturing processes. Drawing on their knowledge of the fashion industry, our technical translators can accurately translate product descriptions, technical specifications and manufacturing instructions, ensuring that the information is clear and consistent.
Fast-paced collections demand fast-paced communications. Trust us to bring your ideas and creations to every market, without compromising cultural relevance or brand integrity.

FAQs
What file formats can you handle?
Orkera can handle most file formats containing formatted or unformatted text. Besides common file formats (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint), we also handle specific publishing formats (InDesign, Publisher, AutoCAD, etc.) and data exchange formats (JSON, xlf, xml, etc.).
How much does a translation cost?
Our translation pricing system is based on the number of words contained in the source documents. We reduce the cost of translations with our CAT software, which uses translation memories to avoid re-translating previously translated content and detects repetitions within and between files. This allows us to offer you shorter turnaround times and consistent translations. For our regular clients, we use translation memories as a reference for every new order. Prices also depend on the chosen translation solution, which is tailored to the content and use context.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of your translations?
All confidential documents entrusted to us are protected by professional secrecy as defined in Article 226-13 of the French Criminal Code, as well as by the commitments enshrined in Orkera’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale. To back up these commitments, we sign specific confidentiality agreements with our clients on request.
How can I reduce my translation costs?
You can take several steps to reduce your translation costs:
– Prepare your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrust the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to recycle previous translations.
– Select translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the document’s intended use.
Which languages do you translate?
We translate from and into more than 60 languages.
We cover all European languages as well as the main languages of international communication. Most of the projects we handle for our clients are multilingual translations of documents, websites or videos from and into several languages at once.
How much time does a translation take?
Translation speed depends directly on the complexity of the source text and the translation solution used.
Depending on the quality required and the length of the documents to translate, the turnaround time could be anything from 24h (e.g. for a 2- to 4-page document) to several days. Whatever the content format and expected quality level, our quotes systematically state the time required for the translation.
Translation turnaround times are given in the presentation of our solutions. Then there’s the time it takes for any page layout adjustments or approval of the insertion of translations into a website or software interface.

How so you reuse existing translations?
Do you need to translate similar or repetitive documents? By entrusting your translations to Orkera, you ensure optimum reuse of text and content already translated via the use of professionally maintained translation memories.
This technique and the multiple connectors we offer mean translations can be reused easily in all content management systems as required. This guarantees the consistency and rigorous management of content updates. We are also able to use translation memories provided by our clients, where applicable.
