Food Industry Translation
English to French Food Industry Translation and French to English Food Industry Translation
We assist organizations within the food industry with sector-specific documentation (or otherwise) that is written in the English or Spanish languages and requires accurate translation into French. Food industry subject areas for which we can source freelance translation expertise include: Food Sources; Food Production; Food Preparation; Food Trade; Food Aid; Food Safety (see also: Medical Translation – Allergy and Immunology); Food Diet; and, Nutrition.
The food industry encompasses a whole host of topics that touch upon a wide variety of industries. Documentation requiring translation that we are capable of handling would include (but not be limited to) the following food industry sectors: Regulation (food quality and food safety); Lobbying; Research & Development (food technology); Manufacturing (agrichemicals, seed, farm machinery,and supplies); Agriculture (raising crops and livestock – see also: Agricultutal Products Translation – fish farming); Food Processing (preparation of fresh products for market, manufacture of prepared food products); Marketing (promotion of generic products such as milk board, promotion of new products, public opinion research, advertising, packaging, public relations, etc.); Food Wholesaling and Distribution (warehousing, transportation and logistics); and, Retailing (supermarket chains and independent food stores, direct-to-consumer enterprises, restaurants, food services and hospitality).
Of course, in addition to English or from French and English to or from Spanish food industry translation assignments, we can also assist you with the translation of the world's most popular languages into or from: Chinese; Arabic; German; Japanese; Portuguese; Russian; Korean; Italian; Hindi; and more...
Food Industry Services Language – Technical Considerations
Our translators, editors and proofreaders render well-written and clearly understandable texts. We place a high value on rendering a finished product that is faithful to the technical (i.e. food industry) as well as cultural nuances of the target language text, where such may apply.
French to English Food industry Translation Projects and French to Spanish Food industry Translation Projects
We assist businesses in finding the best available French to English and French to Spanish Food Industry translation resources – including experienced freelance translators familiar with food industry jargon (actual current or former practionners in the field food industry if appropriate or required).
In our experience, a target language native-speaker may not necessarily be the right freelance food industry translator for the job. (See: Common myths and misconceptions about translation.) Though a native-speaker may be preferable for certain translation assignments, having native language skills may not 'translate into' food industry jargon expertise (pun intended). An experienced linguist with strong Spanish and French or English and French language translation credentials, in-depth experience and professional credentials in food industry translation, regardless of native language, may often prove to be a better choice.
In a nutshell, we use professional translators who have a solid mastery of the language used in the food industry (grammar, spelling, technical and cultural nuances) and a solid understanding of the subject matter.
Once we are confident that the appropriate freelance resources have been identified and certain that we can honour the project deadline, we submit a quote for the translation assignment.
If we cannot secure the appropriate resources, we will do our best to refer you to food industry translation sources of information that we have confidence in.
