SERVICES
Cannabis businesses expanding into new markets face a specific problem: language is not just communication, it’s compliance, credibility and commercial viability.
A product description that works in one market can create regulatory exposure in another.
A brand voice that resonates with one audience falls flat — or worse, alienates — the next.
Cannaspeaks provides the translation and linguistic consultancy services cannabis companies need to operate confidently across languages and markets.
TRANSLATION
Accurate cannabis translation requires more than linguistic competence.
Terminology varies by market, regulatory context and content type. What’s standard in a medical dossier doesn’t belong in consumer packaging. What’s legally acceptable in one jurisdiction may be a claim problem in another.
Rocío translates directly from English and Italian into Spanish. For other language pairs (we work primarily with companies operating in European cannabis markets — Spain, Germany, Italy, the UK and beyond), projects are managed by Cannaspeaks and handled by specialist collaborators with sector experience.
Every translation is reviewed for terminological consistency, sector accuracy and fitness for the target context — not just linguistic correctness. And all projects are handled with strict confidentiality.
Content types:
- Packaging and labelling
- Medical and scientific documentation
- Websites, product descriptions and marketing content
- Regulatory and compliance materials
- Corporate and investor communications
- Newsletters, press releases and editorial content
LANGUAGE CONSULTANCY
Some projects need more than translation. Entering a new market with a cannabis brand requires decisions about tone, terminology, regulatory language and cultural fit that go beyond converting words from one language to another.
Language consultancy covers the work that surrounds translation: making sure your communication strategy is coherent, consistent and appropriate for each market you operate in.
What’s included:
- End-to-end multilingual project management
- Review and audit of existing translations
- Glossary creation and management per client and market
- Tone of voice and style guides per language
- Localisation and transcreation
- Brand name adaptation and multilingual SEO
- Corporate linguistic identity
Not sure which service fits your project? Most clients start with a translation project and expand into consultancy as the relationship develops. Tell us what you need and we’ll suggest the right approach.
Pricing
Every project is quoted individually based on scope, content type, language pairs and turnaround. We don’t publish rate cards — cannabis content varies too much in complexity and risk for a flat-rate approach to make sense.
Get in touch with a brief description of your project and we’ll come back to you with a tailored quote.
HOW IT WORKS
01 — You tell us about your project
-
Send us a brief description by email: what you need translated, the language pair, the context and any deadline. No forms required.
02 — We assess and quote
- Once we have the source files and understand the scope, we send you a tailored quote. We’ll flag anything that needs clarifying before we start.
03 — We get to work
- We work with your existing glossaries and style guides, or build them if you don’t have them yet.
04 — Review and delivery
- Every project goes through a structured review before delivery. You receive the final files with terminology notes or recommendations for future consistency.
- Most clients work with us on an ongoing basis. Each project improves the next: terminology accumulated, preferences documented, process refined.
