Translation that
Speaks their Language
כתיבה עם הביטויים שלהם, לפי המושגים שלהם, ולפי מה שמקובל במגזר הספציפי שאליו אתה פונה. (אמריקאים חרדים, דתיים לאומיים או אמריקאי כללי.)

"We were looking for translation that would transmit to the donors the beauty of our wonderful program…targeting our specific audience. With siyata Dishmaya, the donors internalized the uniqueness of our program, it touched their hearts, and Baruch Hashem they doubled and even tripled their donations"
- Badei Ha'aron
Why Choose 'Rosh Americai'?
That's Why I Think about your TA's Reaction
Your Goal=My Goal
Once, I noticed a 'detail' that touched upon a sensitive topic for the target audience- and would destroy the campaign. After inquiring, I recieved info that changed the whole picture, which I then incorporated in the translation. As my client put it:
"The fruits of her labor were: great success"
According to Target Audience
Torah Translation
Hebrew has many Torah idioms and concepts that are common knowledge to Israelis, but not so known even in frum circles in the US. Our translation takes this into account, explaining what needs explaining, substituting expressions where needed, and using/not using 'frum language' depending on the target audience.
Translation Shouldn't Sound 'Translated'
It's Basically: Rewriting from Scratch
During translation I'll ask you questions to find out exactly what message you want to get across with a certain word/sentence. To make it read smoothly, sometimes an entire sentence, paragraph, or more must be rewritten- that's why I need a full understanding of your messaging and goal. Once complete, I go over the translation again, ensuring it flows and really sounds good.

"We warmly recommend Mrs. Chakak's translation services. We've been working with her for a long period for a large non-profit organition. Her translation is of the highest standard (and we've worked with many before her...) she works with dedication and fully takes the organization's goals and needs into account. She ensures the final outcome has no mistakes and that the feeling each word gives off is exactly what it should. She has a great understanding of content writing in a way that interests our target audience and we see in our fundraising campaigns much interest and outstanding results!"

Translation Options
Let's Talk Tachlis. How's it Work?
Send the document/link you need translated. I'll send timeline/price options to choose from. (Longer timeline=cheaper price)
While translating, I'll ask you questions.
(The ones your target audience will ask]
I ensure the translation encorporates the answers.
After translating, I go over it again to check that it reads smoothly, engages the reader, and no word is uneccesary

"With Rosh Americai, every word is thought out, to make sure the translation expresses the true message trying to be gotten across. The positive feedback from our American clients - says it all."

But why not use AI instead?
AI
Professional Translator
Free/cheap
Costs some money
Your potential donors will connect to your mission and your organization. They'll feel how special you are and how much of a positive impact they can have, through their donation.
If you're very good at prompting AI to translate into your specific Jewish target audience's lingo, maybe it'll come out okay. But is 'okay' going to impress your potential donors and highlight the points they really care about? Will it know that the messaging for American audiences needs to be more subtle and always stay on the positive side of things?

Translation FAQ
"Can you write me something in English, from scratch?"
Yes, definitely. No need to translate from the Hebrew. I'll ask you a bunch of questions in a phone interview to learn about what makes your organizaton unique, and then write from scratch. See Content Writing.
"Do you do SEO content writing? "
