Turbulence-free translations of menus and wine lists for a French airline
End client: A leading French airline
My client: Version internationale
Subject: Hospitality, food, wine and spirits, travel
Content: Food and drinks menus, information about wine producers, grape varieties and aromas, biographies of award-winning and Michelin star chefs,
Language pair: French into US English
Volume: Daily projects from 2 to 2,000 words with fast, one-day turnarounds.
Service: Translation and glossary creation from French to US English
My client’s goals: The airline had previously been translating content themselves, but the translations were not always idiomatic or consistent and did not take into account their English clientele’s cultural references. They needed a native speaker to produce fluid translations that balance precision, style and accuracy. The airline often collaborates with Michelin Star chefs and renowned vineyards, so quality is of the essence to reflect their prestigious image and ensure that guests know exactly what they are ordering.
The result: Travelling can be very stressful, both for guests and the airline’s staff. While you can’t always avoid turbulence while flying, at least the airline knows that the on-board experience will be a smooth as possible thanks to error-free translations. Guests are able to relax, enjoy their delicious food, exquisite wines and look forward to arriving at their destination.
What my client has to say:
“I’m Julia Mercader, and I’m Production Assistant at Version internationale, a company with over 30 years of experience in the translation industry. We entrust Rachel with translations from French to English for one of our main clients, a very well-known airline in France. She is responsible for translating menus and wine menus for First and Business Class, where quality is absolutely essential.”
