The Challenge
A leading European confectionery company with over a decade of international experience approached us with a clear objective: to prepare their product packaging for multiple foreign markets. With expansion plans spanning across continents, they needed precise and culturally appropriate translations of ingredient lists, allergen warnings, and legal disclaimers—into both common and rare languages.
Accuracy, consistency, and legal compliance were top priorities, alongside the ability to manage multiple language versions while preserving layout integrity and brand tone.
Our Approach
To meet the client’s expectations and streamline the process for future rollouts, we designed a tailored solution built on linguistic expertise and operational efficiency:
- Initial Consultation & Needs Assessment: We took time to understand the client’s product range, regulatory requirements across various markets, and their internal processes for packaging development.
- Customized Quote & Timeline: We provided a transparent quote aligned with the number of languages, scope of content, and turnaround expectations.
- Dedicated Linguistic Team: We assembled a consistent team of translators with deep experience in the food industry, ensuring that all texts were accurate, compliant, and terminologically consistent across languages.
- Single Point of Contact: A dedicated project manager oversaw the entire collaboration, serving as the client’s go-to person for all requests, updates, and deliveries.
- Internal QA Processes: Every translation underwent a thorough quality check—covering legal compliance, formatting, and adherence to brand voice.
- Flexible Payment Terms: To support the client’s long-term planning, we also offered extended payment terms as part of our customer-centric approach.
Key Benefits for the Client
- End-to-end multilingual packaging localization from one vendor.
- Coverage of rare languages not easily available on the market.
- Reliable turnaround times, even for high-volume projects.

Our Perspective
This project highlighted the value of combining sector-specific expertise with agile project management. By aligning our workflows with the client’s production and packaging cycles, we were able to deliver translations that were not only linguistically correct, but also fully aligned with food labelling laws and brand integrity. The result? A scalable solution that continues to support the client’s global expansion—with confidence, consistency, and peace of mind.
