Cultural & Language Insights

Understanding the culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone & Style

Use a Mixed (leaning formal) tone with respectful, clear, reliable, professional style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Cyrillic vs. Latin script: While both are used, Cyrillic is official and preferred for formal content. Websites often offer both.
  • Direct communication: Serbs appreciate clear, direct communication, but always respectful.
  • Family values: Strong emphasis on family; promotions tied to family events can resonate.
  • Trust and reliability: Building trust is crucial. Clear return policies, secure payments, and reliable delivery are highly valued.
  • National pride: Subtle appreciation for national symbols or local context can be positive.
⚠️

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Ignoring Cyrillic script: Not offering content in Cyrillic can alienate a significant portion of the audience.
  • Overly casual tone: While direct, an overly informal or aggressive tone can be perceived as disrespectful.
  • Lack of local payment options: Relying solely on international credit cards will limit reach.
  • Generic imagery: Using stock photos that don't reflect local culture or people can feel inauthentic.

Translation Best Practices

Prioritize professional translation: Avoid machine translation for customer-facing content to maintain credibility.
Offer both Cyrillic and Latin scripts: Provide an option for users to switch between scripts, as both are widely used in online communication.
Localize currency and units: Ensure prices are in RSD (Serbian Dinar) and use metric units.
Adapt cultural references: Ensure any idioms or cultural references resonate with the Serbian audience.
Focus on clarity and respect: Maintain a clear, direct, yet respectful tone appropriate for business communication.
