Explanation:
Oui, on peut, mais la phrase anglaise n’est pas très claire. On peut supposer qu’il s’agit de « traduction de contenu », mais cela pourrait également être « création de contenu », vu qu'on a déjà traduction (et qu'est-ce qu'on traduit, sinon un contenu ?). Je proposerais donc « Services de traduction, linguistiques et de création de contenu », mais sous toute réserve. Tu devrais demander à ton client ce qu'il veut dire exactement.

If "content service" means "creative writing for websites, corporate literature, etc.", I guess you can use "création de contenu" indeed. So "Services de traduction, linguistiques et de création de contenu" sounds good to me for "Translation, linguistic and content services".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your answer I have made enquiry about the term content and I have found out the following meaning Providing content services has come to mean providing creative writing for websites, corporate literature, etc. So, this is not translation but rather copywriting. So, is this fit with « Services de traduction, linguistiques et de création de contenu » ? Thanks again
