Translation for
Hotels & Hospitality
Hospitality has two translation problems that pull in opposite directions. Guest-facing copy has to read as though it were written in the language – nobody books from an awkward sentence. Allergen and safety text has to be exact, and reading well is beside the point.
Treating both the same way is how a menu ends up charming and wrong. They are quoted and handled as the different jobs they are.
WHAT HOTELS AND HOSPITALITY BUSINESSES send us
- Menus and wine lists
- Allergen and dietary information
- Safety notices and fire instructions
- Guest directories and in-room information
- Websites, booking flows and confirmations
- Events, conference and wedding material
- Spa, leisure and activity information
- Terms, policies and privacy notices
- Staff handbooks and training material
- Right-to-work and employment documents
Something not on the list? Send it. The analysis is free and we will tell you honestly whether it is work we should be doing – which is more useful than a page claiming we cover everything.
THREE THINGS that matter more to you than to anyone else
Allergen and safety text is exact, and nothing else
A dietary or safety notice is a regulated statement, and a translator improving its phrasing has changed it. Those sections are translated precisely, checked by a second linguist, and flagged back to you if the source itself is ambiguous – because ambiguity in the original becomes ambiguity in fourteen languages otherwise.
A menu is marketing, and it is priced as marketing
Dish descriptions sell. Rendered literally they become inventories, and a guest reading a stiff translation of your signature dish orders something else. Guest-facing copy is written rather than converted – the same work described on marketing and content localisation – while the regulated parts of the same document stay literal.
The workforce paperwork comes with the territory
Hospitality hires internationally, which means right-to-work evidence, qualifications and references arriving in languages nobody in HR reads, usually the week before a season starts. Those are certified documents rather than copy, and they are handled that way.

HOW TO set this up
One-off work is ordered like anything else: send the file, approve the quote, get it back. Where the work is regular, an account removes the part you will get tired of.
Open a corporate account
Terms agreed once, priority handling, a named account manager, your terminology kept between jobs and one statement instead of an invoice per document.
Corporate accounts & partnerships →The subject, not just the language
Legal, medical, financial, technical and academic work each have rules the others do not. Projects are assigned on subject as well as language pair.
Industry translation services →What happens to the file
The same five stages every order goes through, and the three-stage quality assessment behind stage four. Nothing is skipped because a job is small.

QUESTIONS from hotels and hospitality businesses
Can you translate our menus for several markets at once?
Yes, as one project with one glossary so dish names and brand terms stay fixed across languages. Tell us the print or launch date when you send them.
How do you handle allergen information?
Exactly and literally, checked by a second linguist, and separately from the descriptive copy around it. If the source wording is ambiguous we raise it with you rather than resolving it ourselves.
Do you translate our website and booking flow?
Yes, including the parts people forget – confirmation emails, error messages, policies. See website, app and software localisation.
Can you certify staff documents?
Yes – qualifications, references and identity documents, issued dated on company letterhead with the translator named and signed, and we guarantee acceptance.
Our peak is seasonal. Can you plan for it?
Yes, if you tell us when. A standing team briefed in advance is worth more than urgency bought on the day, and a corporate account fixes the terms so the season does not start with a negotiation.
