A destination country will make itself more appealing if it provides multi-lingua information in their promotional brochures and websites. This is where specialised travel translator services comes into the picture. Travel translator is a translation service provided specifically for the tourism industry.

Who Needs Travel Translator?

The tourism industry comprises of many different entities such as tourist boards, hotel booking websites, airline websites, hotels, hostels, high class restaurants, cruises, government tourism departments, transportation providers, guided tour companies and many more. All these service providers will need to have their promotional messages translated into a target language before they can woo the foreign visitors. With almost all information within the reach of the internet, it is even more important for these services to have professionally translated content on their website to cater to foreign visitors. Travel translator services are able to help the tourism industry in providing the most accurate writing style for attracting potential visitors.

Translation Mistakes

Many hotel and restaurants spend years to build up their reputation, but a bad translation will ruin it in just a few days. A room service menu in a Guangzhou China listed one of their desserts as “Chocolate Puke”. I doubt many will order that. Another dish that should be correctly translated as “Sichuan Style Spicy Chicken”, but it was printed as “Chicken Rude and Unreasonable”. Perhaps it might be wise for the chef to teach the chicken some manners? One of the Chinese restaurants in Atlanta also stated on their menu “Sweat & Sour Chicken”. The lesson here is always to find a reputable translation company that has years of experience in providing these services to the tourism industry.

The Travel Translator Process

When a hotel manager hires the professional translation services company to translate a brochure from English to Spanish, the project manager will first look at the linguist database to select the potential Spanish translators. After that, the manager will choose the Spanish translator who has qualifications in marketing or has extensive working experience in the tourism industry. It is quite common to have native tour guides who are also qualified as professional translators. This selection process ensures that the text is translated with the client’s needs in mind. After the first few stages of the travel translation process, the text will finally be proofread by another translator. This is to ensure there are no errors before delivering back to the customer.

Electronic Translator

Electronic translators, at the core, are basically digital dictionaries. However, with advancing technology, they now do plenty of additional functions beyond giving you the equivalent of one word in your target language. Many of them now incorporate features such as immediate translation of complete phrases for various situations, vocabulary practice exercises, language games and more.

If you’re traveling, an electronic translator will come very handy, probably more so than equivalent software designed for cellphones and other handheld devices. Need to ask for directions but don’t know how to string a proper question together? Just find the equivalent phrase on the travel translator and it can do all the talking for you.
Electronic language translators can be a valuable asset in both your business and personal life. In the office they can translate a business document from one language into your language of choice and are invaluable on foreign holidays for those situations, for example, when you want to order something but the person serving you does not speak your language.

In the office, one of the worst mistakes you can make when corresponding or conversing with a foreign client is to misspell or mispronounce a word or a phrase, as in many languages doing could alter it’s meaning or context totally. An electronic language translator can not only translate the text it can on certain models speak the word or passage of text back to you. By doing this you can easily pick up the all important pronunciations, making business calls abroad a lot more enjoyable.

When traveling abroad, be that on holiday or on business trips, you will find communication so much easier with an electronic handheld translator packed in your suitcase. No more struggling to communicate with the locals who don’t understand what it is you are saying, no more trying to get through to the taxi driver or the local trader and gone are the times you have tried to order one thing in a restaurant only to receive something completely different and totally unpalatable. Travel translators can quickly and easily translate your requirements to either be delivered by yourself or spoken for you by the device.

Electronic language translators also smartly double up as a personal organizer. These new generation models have a whole host of useful functions such as telephone directories, a calendar and scheduler, account manager, time zone tracker, some even allow you to fax, email or call home, and of course they all have a mandatory dictionary covering a whole array of languages.

Conclusion

All in all, travel voice translator should be the first choice for any service providers within the tourism industry. Professional travel voice translator will not only ensure accurate translation into the target language, but also make certain that the translated message is also carried across to the readers.
