Food and drink translation services

We translate food labels, packaging, ingredient lists, allergen information, product specifications, menus, recipes and preparation instructions. We also help with websites, online product listings, marketing campaigns, trade communications and staff training materials.

Yes. We select linguists with relevant subject expertise and pay particular attention to ingredients, allergens, quantities, storage information and preparation instructions. If something in the original is unclear, we’ll ask you to clarify it before proceeding.

Please tell us which countries your products will be sold in, as well as the languages you need.

Accurate translation is an essential part of preparing a label for another market. However, requirements can also affect the content, claims and presentation of the label itself.

We work with your approved source text and any instructions from your regulatory advisers. Your regulatory or food safety team should approve the final label for each intended market before production.

Yes. We can arrange an independent review of existing translations against the original text, checking accuracy, terminology and suitability for the intended audience. Send us both versions and explain how the content will be used so we can recommend an appropriate level of review.

Yes. Our typesetting and layout services can help fit translated content into your packaging design, including languages that use different scripts or read from right to left.

We can also arrange a language check of the finished artwork. This helps identify problems introduced during layout, such as missing text, incorrect line breaks or misplaced wording.

Shared terminology and previously approved translations help keep wording consistent across products. Clear version control also helps everyone identify which text has been approved and which content has changed.

Yes. Product information needs precision, while marketing also needs to appeal to local customers. We can translate or adapt websites, campaigns, product descriptions and brand messaging to suit the audience.

We’ll help you decide where straightforward translation and localisation is appropriate or where transcreation would be more effective.

Yes. We consider ingredient names, cooking terminology, measurements and cultural references so readers can understand and use the information.

If a dish name or ingredient has no direct equivalent, we can discuss the best way to explain it. We’ll raise questions about unclear dietary or allergen wording rather than make assumptions.

The cost depends on the amount of text, languages, subject matter, review requirements and any artwork or typesetting involved. Repeated wording across a product range may also affect the quote.

Send us your files, intended markets and deadline, and we’ll provide a clear quotation explaining what’s included.

Ideally, we’ll need your latest approved text, target languages and countries, deadline, and any existing terminology or brand guidelines. For packaging projects, artwork files and details of available space are helpful too.
