here is what she wants done............

Thank you in advance

IMHO ,I think it needs not to translate in TH .

Firstly, when you translate in TH it will be a bit funny and TH people will not get it.

Moreover, many Thai people think english labeled brands are classy.

I will give you an example , Philosophy cosmetic has many types of their products and their quotes when we translate in TH is too drama http://www.philosophy.com/web/store/shop_10001_-1_10001

The products will be on sale in Europe and not Thailand. the Thai script is just to make it look more Thai, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Bambina is right, the English used there is very idiomatic and would not be easily translated into Thai in a way that makes sense. Also, it seems to me that the volume of words used there is so much that a bottle of cosmetics would be swamped by barely readable Thai script. Even if you used some of those lines on their own the nature of the translation is such that a lot of words would have to be used.

Why not suggest printing a single Thai word on the products, you could for example transliterate the brand name into Thai. That way it would remain readable.

I agree with Bambina and withnail.

Those phrases are buzzwords designed to evoke feelings, and copywriting material can not be directly translated, it looks too literal and runs the risk of looking silly. Consider consulting a professional Thai copywriter if you want equivalent buzzwords in Thai.

Ok i will pass along the message,

thanks for replying

Two alternatives to consider: 1. use romantic or soothing Thai words which would be meaningful to Thai people, although not direct translations of what you have suggested; 2. use place names in Thailand which are evocative of the feelings you are trying to convey. Some of these names may be in commercial use already so you would need an attorney to check registered trademarks and tradenames. Good luck.

I have some ideas

1) Using Thai look-alike font AW Siam with English (Latin) characters. (AW_Siam English)

You can d/l fonts here for free

pro - It looks exotic

con -It is hard to read sometimes

or

2) Add Thai graphics on your products
