Food and Beverage Translation That Protects Your Brand and Your Customers

Food is woven into cultural identity and daily well-being, and appetites have grown more international with every passing year. As more products are imported and exported each day, accurate food and beverage translation has grown into a core discipline for the sector. From menus and recipes to wine labels, much of this copy also needs to sound appetizing, which is where our marketing translation expertise earns its place.

In a globalized market, food moves across continents every day, and the paperwork travels with it. In March 2024, EU agri-food exports reached a value of €19.6 billion, a reminder of how much international food trade now depends on precise documentation. Certificates of origin, import and export licenses, and shipping papers often carry legal weight, so we pair them with certified translation services whenever an official body requires it.

Where Food and Beverage Translation Makes the Difference

Menus and Culinary Content

Translation of menus, recipes, and cookbooks that reads naturally for local diners. Dish names like ropa vieja or spaghetti alla puttanesca are handled with care, keeping the original name where it belongs and describing the ingredients clearly in the target language.

Ingredient Lists and Allergen Labeling

Exact translation of ingredient lists, allergen statements, and nutritional information, where accuracy is a matter of safety. Confusing pine nuts with peanuts, or missing a religious or dietary requirement, is a mistake we are built to prevent.

Food E-commerce and Product Descriptions

Translation of food e-commerce sites, product descriptions, and web apps so shoppers understand exactly what they are buying. Clear, appealing copy helps your catalog convert in every market you sell into.

HACCP and Food Safety Compliance

Translation of HACCP documents, quality standards, food safety training, and manufacturing records. This work supports the systems that identify and control hazards, so nothing is lost as your operation crosses borders.

Marketing Copy and Packaging

Wine labels, packaging, and promotional copy translated to inform and to tempt. A good linguist strikes the balance between accuracy and desirability, and reviews packaging imagery so your product stays culturally appropriate in a new market.

Languages Served

Coverage across 50+ languages, from Italian and Spanish to Thai and beyond, matched to the cuisine and market each project needs. Whatever the language combination, we have the right specialist for your food and drink content.
