Should You Need A Translation Pamphlet To Shop For Food?
By Donna J. Jodhan

This is not meant to be a funny question; it is for real but there are many
who would agree that more and more, it is becoming difficult for us to
interpret the labels and brochures that advertise and describe the foods
that we interact with in our supermarkets. True it is that English is
normally the de facto or go to language but with all of the different types
of ethnic foods on our shelves today, we certainly could do with some help
in the translation area.

Now, here is a perfect idea for someone who is thinking of entering the
translation field. How is this for the naming of a new type of career; a
food label translator! This idea could easily be taken and developed into a
full fledged career and I'll tell you what: With more persons developing an
appetite for ethnic foods and foods outside of their own culture, there is
going to be the development of a natural demand by consumers to have labels
on these types of foods translated to and from various languages. The
translation of brochures would only naturally follow.
So how about it? Please see my reference below.
