I need some help to translate a short sentence/slogan Hi I hope someone will provide me some help. I thank you in advance for your answer. :) I am trying to translate a slogan, the mission of my brand. in Italian it sounds good but in english I have some doubts. In italiano è: Conferire al tuo essere uno stile memorabile. I traslate: Confer upon your essence a memorable style. It sounds good??? Thank you a lot :D

It would help to know the kind of product and the feeling you want to transmit. Your translation is correct but sounds very philosophical and strange as a marketing slogan. I would recommend something like this: "Make your style unforgettable." "Give yourself an unforgettable style." "Unforgettable" is stronger than "memorable". In the UK, you would have to pay a lot of money for marketing advice like this!

It doesn't sound quite right. One thing to remember when translating from a Latin language to English is the fact that although many equivalent Latin-based words do exist in English, these words tend to be rather formal. So whilst 'confer' is an English verb, it is mainly used in formal and legal contexts - it certainly isn't 'catchy' enough to use in a product slogan. The word 'essence' isn't the right translation of the Italian 'essere' . Literally, 'il tuo essere' translates as 'your being' , but that would be a weird phrase to use here. The simplest literal translation would just be 'Give yourself a memorable style', but that isn't a great slogan. It's a start, but let's see if there are any marketing experts out there who can come up with something better.
